Personal considerations
In addition to the job description, the following information should be used when considering whether a placement is suitable for you.

Personal Health Considerations:
  • If you have a significant current or past medical condition and/or you have general concerns about staying healthy as a volunteer, please use this information to assess whether this placement will be suitable for you. All volunteers require medical clearance from a VSO medical adviser before they are able to take up a placement with VSO.
  • Occasionally, VSO may consider that this placement is too great a risk for you in terms of your personal health and you would be advised to consider a different placement. For further guidance about medical assessment and volunteering with a medical condition please see the frequently asked questions on VSO website.
Access to Medical Care and Support:
  • The standard and quality of local medical care and support available at this placement will depend on its location within the country. Health facilities are likely to be more poorly resourced in rural areas in terms of medical expertise, equipment, infrastructure and regular supplies of medication.
  • However, this may not be the case in the capital city or in a larger town, where in some countries there may be a reasonable standard of medical care.
  • The following gives you an indication of where the placement is in relation to the country office and how easy it would be to make the journey if you were ill.
  • One volunteer position will be based in Lagos, and the other Kano.
  • Lagos, located in the South-West region, is the economic nerve centre of Nigeria and there will be easy access to the medical facilities available in the Capital - this includes private clinics and State hospitals. The VSO Programme Office in Abuja is between 9 to 10 hours from Lagos by road and about an hour by air. There are daily flights to Lagos from Abuja.
  • Kano, located in the North-West region, is the largest city in Northern Nigeria and there will be easy access to the medical facilities available in the Capital - this includes private clinics and State hospitals. The VSO Programme Office in Abuja is about 5 hours from Kano by road and about an hour by air. There are daily flights to Kano from Abuja.
  • Mosquito nets are given to volunteers during the In-country orientation (ICO). Programme staff will also check the accommodation before volunteer's arrival to ensure that it meets VSO Nigeria's minimum standard to prevent susceptibility to malaria. Aside Malaria, Typhoid is another common ailment that can be contacted, in other to prevent this disease, volunteers are advised to boil and filter their drinking water, wash fruits and vegetables before eating and cooking.
  • There is also a health/medical session on healthy living during the ICO which is facilitated by a medical doctor invited from one of VSO Nigeria's recommended hospital. Volunteers are also given a comprehensive health manual that provides necessary information on health issues.
