Expert Network

We are seeking dedicated professionals to volunteer in our network. Your expertise will help aid workers who have been left without adequate support. This can be in terms of directing someone to the right care, or being available to consult on their specific needs. Below are the needed roles.

As an ER physician and former humanitarian doctor, I’m honoured to assist Proper Support with specific medical expertise. In the past, I quickly reviewed a client’s medical reports and testing results for a potential malpractice case. The initial review confirmed suspicions, leading to a deeper investigation that revealed significant neglect, justifying full case support.

I like the idea that struggling aid workers have access to a broad range of expertise, and Proper Support’s Expert Network helps make that possible.
