What is working in healthcare and the medical sector abroad like?

  • Responsibilities: Working in the medical sector abroad can range from being a nurse in a local hospital in Africa to a policy officer at an international NGO in Asia, or a doctor in a mobile clinic in South America. It can be demanding and intensive, but also extremely educational. You'll encounter different healthcare systems, cultural differences, and sometimes diseases that have long since disappeared in your home country.
  • Your workday might involve treating patients, developing health programs, providing information, or improving logistics and policy. In many countries, it's primarily about making do with what's available, which can sometimes be surprisingly limited.
  • Duties depend greatly on your role, but may include:
    • treating patients in various facets of healthcare, or supporting local medical teams.
    • providing information on hygiene, nutrition, prevention, and health.
    • assisting with research or developing programs.
    • collaborating with local authorities, NGOs, and international colleagues.
    • producing videography and documentaries.
    • providing emergency relief during disasters.
  • Working conditions: Volunteer work and internships are often unpaid, but you'll learn a lot. You'll often be paid through NGOs or international organizations, or at a local company. 
  • In developing countries, it's more often about volunteer work or a small allowance (room and board are provided, but a salary isn't always).
  • At (private) healthcare institutions, the pay is often much better, especially in places with many expats.
  • At international NGOs or development organizations, you can sometimes work on a contract basis, often with international salary scales.
  • Housing can vary from a basic volunteer house to an apartment in the city. Expect a mosquito net more than air conditioning.
  • Care and safety: vaccinations, insurance, and an emergency plan are usually mandatory.

What are the reasons for working in healthcare and the medical sector abroad?

  • To feel a sense of commitment: you directly contribute to better care for people who don't automatically have access to it. You make a genuine contribution to the world.
  • To enhance your personal development: you learn to deal with limited resources, challenging circumstances, and sometimes even considerable bureaucracy.
  • To build a network: you get to know doctors, healthcare workers, and NGO staff locally and from around the world. To put things into perspective: a crisis at home might suddenly stop being a real crisis when you see the circumstances of others.

What skills and motivations do you need to work in healthcare and the medical sector abroad?

  • Analysis: quickly grasping situations, from a medical problem to a chaotic healthcare system. Communicating: It's important to be able to explain what's going on in simple terms.
  • Empathizing: Understanding that patients can also be afraid or suspicious.
  • Collaborating: With anyone present—from local nurses to international volunteers.
  • Results-oriented: Ultimately, it's about better health for the community.
  • Stress-resistant: Crisis situations are part of life. It's important to be confident in these situations.

What are the risks of working in healthcare and the medical sector abroad, and how are you insured against those risks?

  • What are the risks of working in healthcare or the medical sector abroad?
    • Mental strain is common: working long hours in understaffed teams, dealing with death or cultural differences in healthcare can lead to burnout, insomnia or trauma.
    • High levels of stress are common: due to responsibility, a strong sense of helpfulness, miscommunication or cultural and linguistic problems.
    • High workloads are common: due to long days, emergencies, staff shortages, or intensive supervision.
    • Unsafe working environments are common: infrastructure, health risks, political instability, social norms.
    • Accidents often occur due to lifting patients, working in extreme heat or cold, which increase the risk of back problems, overexertion or exhaustion.
    • It is common for someone to contract a contagious or local disease such as hepatitis, tuberculosis, or tropical diseases, especially when protective equipment is limited. A lack of gloves, disinfection, sterile materials, or safe needles can increase risks, preventing you from working for a period of time or even requiring you to be flown home.
  • Are you insured while working in healthcare organisations and the medical sector abroad?
    • Local employers usually offer no, or limited, supplementary insurance.
    • There is a risk of accidents because, for example, you are doing work with which you have little experience.
    • During work, an internship, or volunteer work abroad for which you receive compensation or a salary, the coverage of your own health insurance in your home country may lapse.
    • There may be several reasons why you need separate insurance when working abroad. See the pages on: insuring international Insurances for working abroad, for internships abroad, for volunteering abroad, or for expats and emigrants.

What is working as a healthcare worker abroad like?

  • Responsibilities: Healthcare workers are indispensable all over the world! From mountain clinics in Nepal and nursing homes in Spain, to private hospitals in Canada.
  • Whether you’re a nurse, caregiver, or support worker, you’ll be helping people improve their quality of life and health through:
    • Assisting with personal care, wound care, and daily support.
    • Working in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, or people’s homes.
    • Supporting patients recovering from illness or surgery.
    • Providing care for people with disabilities, the elderly, or the chronically ill.
    • Sharing information about hygiene, nutrition, and self-care.
    • Training or assisting local healthcare teams.
    • Or simply: doing whatever needs to be done — even if it’s not in your job description.
  • Working conditions: The deal varies widely. In developing countries, you might receive room and board (plus a lifetime’s worth of lessons), while in countries like Australia or Germany, you can earn a solid salary.
  • Sometimes you’ll stay with a host family, sometimes in a shared volunteer house, and sometimes... with a few geckos or goats as roommates.
Back to top

What are the reasons for working as a healthcare worker abroad?

  • To deepen your empathy: you’ll learn to handle a wide range of emotions, cultures, and life stories, sometimes heartbreaking, often heartwarming.
  • To strengthen your intercultural communication: you’ll learn to truly listen, even when words fail, and discover that a smile is universal.
  • To build resilience: you’ll learn to improvise when the IV gets stuck, the power goes out, or the goat eats the laundry.
  • To improve your teamwork skills: you’ll collaborate with local colleagues, families, and international teams toward one shared goal: humane care.
  • To find meaning and purpose: because few things are as fulfilling as making a direct difference in someone’s daily life, recovery, or dignity.
Back to top

What skills and motivations do you need to work as a healthcare worker abroad?

  • Empathy: patients and families are often in difficult situations — you need to listen, comfort, and connect, sometimes without words (especially when language barriers are big!).
  • Relationship-oriented mindset: you build trust and long-term bonds; patients often see you not just as a caregiver, but as a friend.
  • Proactive thinking: you spot problems early, act fast, and keep things running smoothly.
  • Communication skills: you explain, reassure, and motivate people — clearly and respectfully.
  • Collaboration: you’ll work with doctors, family members, and local colleagues. A smile and humor go a long way everywhere.
  • Independence and organizational talent: especially in small or remote clinics, where you need to manage your work without much supervision.

    What is working as a doctor abroad like?

    • Responsibilities: Doctors are desperately needed worldwide, from emergency aid stations in disaster areas to village clinics in developing countries and international hospitals in expat communities. There are shortages almost everywhere. Whether you are still studying, have just graduated, or have years of experience, working as a doctor abroad requires more than just medical knowledge.
    • As a doctor, your responsibilities include:
    • Providing medical care in clinics, hospitals, or mobile teams.
    • Contributing to prevention programs or vaccination campaigns.
    • Training and supervising local healthcare personnel.
    • Advising NGOs or governments on health policy.
    • In emergency situations: triage, first aid, and crisis coordination. You can work for development and aid organizations (such as Doctors Without Borders or Cordaid), international hospitals and private clinics, government projects, health missions or expat clinics, tropical medicine programs, or medical internships and volunteer work in, for example, Africa, Asia, or South America.
    • Working conditions (salary, compensation, and expenses): these vary greatly by organization and country. Often, the following applies:
    • A local salary or a volunteer position with room and board.
    • Sometimes expenses, travel expenses, or a daily allowance are reimbursed.
    • Sometimes  insurance, vaccinations, and visas are included, sometimes it's your own responsibility.
    • Where you stay depends on the organization and location. Sometimes it's hospital accommodations or a simple guesthouse, sometimes you live with other international colleagues, and sometimes you have to make your own arrangements.
    Back to top

    What are the reasons for working as a doctor abroad?

    • To deepen your commitment: you work directly on improving the health of people who often have limited access to healthcare. You are truly involved in people's lives and their future prospects. 
    • To strengthen your professional practice: working with limited resources teaches you to prioritize carefully and think practically.
    • To train your stress tolerance: unforeseen situations, language barriers, or cultural differences can be quite stressful. It's important to find flexibility and calm in these situations.
    • To increase your empathy: you learn to deal with different customs, belief systems, and expectations and find yourself in situations that sometimes demand considerable empathy.
    • To make a meaningful contribution to a better world: by providing medical care in countries where it is desperately needed, you contribute to improving the lives and quality of life of people in other countries. This also has many other positive consequences.
    • To increase your self-awareness: outside your familiar environment, you'll more quickly discover your qualities as a doctor and as a person.

    What skills and motivations do you need to work as a doctor abroad?

    • Communication skills: Knowledge of the local language is useful, but listening and clear communication are more important, not only with patients, but also with colleagues and translators.
    • Empathy: Cultural sensitivity is essential for building trust with patients and local teams.
    • Professional conduct: Even under pressure, you remain careful, honest, and responsible in your medical decisions.
    • Planning and organization: From vaccination campaigns to inventory management, a good system prevents chaos and ensures that money is spent most efficiently.
    • Situational awareness: You work in an environment with different rules, values, and resources. Understanding or at least respecting these helps you work much more effectively.
    • Commitment: Your patients count on your commitment and reliability, sometimes literally with their lives.
    • Motivation, meaningful work: Working as a doctor abroad is often more satisfying than working within a rigid system, but motivation is necessary because you often work long days with all kinds of events.

    What is working as a physiotherapist abroad like?

    • Physiotherapists are increasingly in demand worldwide, especially in countries where healthcare is developing or where sports tourism and rehabilitation are on the rise. As a physiotherapist, you combine medical knowledge with personal guidance, which is useful anywhere in the world, whether you work in a hospital, rehabilitation center, seaside practice, or volunteer project in the mountains.
    • Responsibilities: As a physiotherapist, you will be involved in:
      • Treating patients with injuries, chronic pain, or mobility problems.
      • Developing exercise and rehabilitation programs.
      • Humanitarian and development projects—for example, rehabilitation projects for children with disabilities, accident victims, or people with polio. Facilities are limited, so your knowledge literally makes the difference.
      • Training and supervising local staff in physiotherapy or rehabilitation care.
      • Advising NGOs, schools, or sports centers on injury prevention.
      • Working with special target groups such as the elderly, athletes, or people with disabilities.
    • You can work at rehabilitation centers, sports clinics, hospitals, or physiotherapy practices, for example, at expat destinations or resorts.
    • Working conditions (salary, compensation, and expenses): In paid positions, you usually earn a local salary or receive an expense allowance with room and board. In developing countries or volunteer projects, the emphasis is more on gaining experience and transferring knowledge than on earning money. In expat clinics or tourist areas (such as Australia or Spain), salaries are generally higher.
    Back to top

    What are the reasons for working as a physiotherapist abroad?

    • To improve your adaptability: working with limited resources requires creativity; a towel as an exercise band, a wall as a balance support. You will figure it out.
    • To improve your communication: you will learn to clearly explain complex exercises and advice, even when language or culture poses a barrier.
    • To increase your cultural awareness: you will learn how people think differently about pain, recovery, and health, broadening your perspective as a professional.
    • To develop your problem-solving skills: you will adapt existing techniques to local circumstances and devise new ways to promote recovery.
    • To learn to take responsibility: depending on the situation, you will sometimes work in a small team, or even alone. That means that you learn to make independent decisions and finding solutions.
    • To learn to work more client-focused: you will encounter so many different people and situations that you will naturally become better at adapting to specific clients and circumstances.
    Back to top

    What skills and motivations do you need to work as a physiotherapist abroad?

    • Organizational awareness: every clinic or organization has their own way of working, from chaotic to tight schedules.
    • Self-confidence: it is important to have confidence in your own knowledge and treatment plan, but of course (without losing self-confidence) also to be open to other possibilities.
    • Patience: recovery doesn't always go according to plan, especially when resources are limited.
    • Professionalism: despite the circumstances, it is important to adhere to hygiene, confidentiality, and professional ethics. Collaborative skills: you often work in multidisciplinary teams with doctors, volunteers, and local staff.

      • It is common for someone to contract a contagious or local disease such as malaria, dengue fever, chikungunya, rabies, tuberculosis, hepatitis A/E, parasitic infections, or infections when treating wounds. Limited protective equipment, a lack of gloves, disinfection, sterile materials, or safe needles can increase risks, which may result in you being unable to work for a period of time or even having to be flown home.

    What is working as a psychologist abroad like?

    • Responsibilities: As a psychologist abroad, you can contribute in many ways—from mental health care in disaster areas to (online) coaching for expats or mentoring young people in international schools. The setting determines your role: sometimes you will be a therapist, sometimes a researcher, sometimes a listening ear.
    • For example, you could:
      • Support clients with stress, trauma, or adjustment issues.
      • Work on humanitarian projects with refugees or disaster victims.
      • Coach expats, students, or local professionals.
      • Conduct research on mental well-being and cultural differences.

    • Working conditions (salary, compensation, and expenses): Salaries vary widely. At NGOs and aid organizations, you usually receive an expense allowance plus room and board. At expat clinics or international schools, you can expect a competitive salary. Research projects or volunteer work are often about building experience rather than earning money.
    Back to top

    What are the reasons for working as a psychologist abroad?

    • To increase your self-reflection: you learn to let go of your own assumptions about mental health and discover how culture, customs, and environment determine how emotions are experienced and expressed.
    • To strengthen your empathy: you discover how universal emotions are, but also how culture influences them and their expression.
    • To improve your intercultural communication: you learn to truly listen, even when someone doesn't express their feelings directly.
    • To act professionally: you develop a broader understanding of trauma, resilience, and cultural psychology that you won't easily experience in your home country.
    • To feel that you are contributing to the lives of others, to feel meaningful with a sense of purpose: it is satisfying to strengthen mental well-being where it is most needed and to have a direct impact on people's lives.
    Back to top

    What skills and motivations do you need to work as a psychologist abroad? 

    • Empathy: You understand that emotions, coping mechanisms, and trauma are culturally complex and adapt your support accordingly.

    • Professionalism: You always act ethically and respectfully, even in challenging or limited circumstances.
    • Situational Awareness: You adapt your interventions to the local context, customs, and social rules.
    • Stress Resistance: You remain calm in emotionally challenging situations and maintain your own boundaries.
    • Self-Confidence: You dare to engage in difficult conversations and make decisions, even when there is no ready-made solution.

      • There is often a lot of stress: due to responsibility, a desire to help, frustration, miscommunication, or cultural and linguistic problems.
      • The workload is often high: due to long days, staff shortages, or intensive supervision.
      • It is common for the working environment to be unsafe: infrastructure, health risks, political instability, manners.
      • Accidents with more or less serious consequences are a regular occurrence.
      • It is common for people to contract a contagious or local disease, which means you cannot work for a while or even have to be flown home.
    • Are you insured while working as a psychologist abroad? 
      • Local employers usually offer no, or limited, supplementary insurance.
      • There is a risk of accidents because, for example, you are doing work with which you have little experience.

    Why get specific insurance when going abroad: per activity abroad
    What is travel insurance, and why take out specific insurance when you go on a trip or vacation?

    What is travel insurance, and why take out specific insurance when you go on a trip or vacation?

    Back to top

    What is travel insurance to insure your trip or vacation?

    • Travel insurance is insurance that provides coverage for risks during a trip or vacation abroad. This mainly concerns loss of or damage to your luggage, medical assistance in the event of accidents, for example, or repatriation costs if you need to be transported back to your home country urgently. In some cases, travel insurance coverage also applies in your home country.
    • With continuous travel insurance, you are insured for all your trips throughout the year.

    • The activities during your trip: so that you can also participate in all kinds of sports and adventure activities that are excluded from travel insurance
    • Coverage of your medical expenses during your trip: so that you are always covered, even if you go to work or if the costs in the event of an accident are higher than the Dutch rate
    • Coverage for natural disasters and war during your trip: so that you don't have to return home immediately with your tail between your legs every time the Dutch government issues negative travel advice
    • Your insurer's specialization: so that your insurer specializes in backpacking trips or long stays abroad, and doesn't treat you like an “all-inclusive sunglasses claimant.”

    Insurance for working abroad

    Back to top

    What is insurance for working abroad?

    • Insuring yourself for working abroad means taking out insurance that continues to provide coverage during your paid work abroad.
    Back to top

    Why take out insurance, and when is normal travel insurance no longer sufficient?

    • There may be several reasons why you need separate insurance for paid work abroad.
    • During your work, local employers generally offer no or limited insurance that does not provide sufficient coverage.
    • The risk of accidents is sometimes greater during your work, for example because you are doing work with which you have little experience or because of the nature of the work.
    • During specific work abroad, additional requirements may apply as soon as you start performing work that involves additional risks. Only special insurance policies offer coverage during this type of work.
    • During work, internships, or volunteer work abroad where you receive a salary or compensation (for example, food or housing), your local health insurance coverage will normally lapse. You will then need special insurance to remain insured for illness and accidents.
    • Standard travel insurance policies generally do not provide sufficient coverage to apply for a work visa or working holiday visa.
    • Standard travel insurance policies generally only cover stays abroad for a limited number of days. If your trip or stay abroad exceeds the maximum number of days, this generally means that there will be no coverage for the entire travel period.
    • Standard travel insurance policies generally only provide coverage for recreational travel without study, internship, or work. If you engage in activities other than recreational activities, this generally means that you will no longer be covered for the entire travel period.
    Back to top

    What should you pay attention to in your insurance policy if you are going to work abroad?

    • Make sure you have insurance that is valid in the area where you will be traveling and working.
    • Make sure you are adequately insured for the sports and activities you will be participating in.
    • that you are insured for emergency assistance and early return if something happens to you or your immediate family.
    • that your medical expenses are insured up to the actual cost (what it actually costs), and not just for the standard costs. In most countries, healthcare costs are higher than in the Netherlands.
    • that you insure your luggage and take sufficient precautions against theft or damage.
    • that you are well insured against personal liability.
    • that you are well insured in case of accidents.
    • that you insure yourself for legal assistance if there is an immediate reason to do so, unless the coverage is already automatically included in the insurance.
    •  that you take care to choose the right coverage when working in healthcare, with wild animals, and with dangerous machinery.
