Currently, a health professional is working in Bangladesh and one is in Tanzania.

Scholarship

JOCS cooperates to improve healthcare services in Asia and Africa through providing scholarship to those who seek to work for the local people and contribute to their communities. JOCS puts a high priority on applicants who are engaged in Primary Health Care (PHC) activities at the grass-roots level. Over 600 health-care workers have received JOCS scholarship for their further study/training. We value the connection with the scholarship students through annual reports from them and their messages published in our newsletter.
