Natural Doctors International (NDI) is about reaching out, sharing, collaborating, promoting responsible volunteerism and service - building community. It is about bringing together change makers and working towards permanent change in all areas of health - from the individual, to the community, to the planet." |
Through volunteer licensed naturopathic physicians, NDI runs an integrative health clinic using a model that incorporates short and long term health programs and community enhancement projects. In Ometepe, Nicaragua, the pilot site has run a successful integrative health clinic since 2005. The clinic has attended to more than 20,000 patients, donated more than $500,000 US worth of supplies and medicines and carried out numerous successful community projects.
The team treats patients of all ages including newborns, children, pregnant women, adults and elderly for general health consults or emergencies. The doctors work collaboratively with MDs and nurses in various clinics, providing care for up to 30 patients per day per practitioner. Volunteers gain a more intimate experience with the people they are serving by living within the community.
In addition to our clinical services, NDI manages a variety of health and community projects on the island. Volunteer physicians participate in all aspects of the NDI holistic approach to global health, working in the clinic, the field, and teaching 10-day health courses on “Natural Medicine in Global Health” that are run throughout the year and are open to anyone interested.
