Volunteer Development

    About Program

    Volunteer Force Against Hepatitis Transmission (VFAHT) is a volunteer organization working for public health (PH) in general; and infection prevention and control (IPC) in particular. More than 1500 active volunteers (enrolled medical and dental students across Pakistan) are part of VFAHT. The organization educates these volunteers with basic and advanced tools of public health (PH) and infection prevention and control (IPC). These volunteers then educate the communities utilizing these learned tools. VFAHT is currently focusing on 3 major projects under the volunteer development program for medical and dental students.
