PAST PARTICIPANTS
For 22 years, Kybele has enlisted the help of hundreds of medical volunteers, institutions, organizations and medical equipment companies to train thousands of doctors and nurses across the globe. These volunteers are vital to the work that we perform and come from a wide variety of specialty areas and regions of the world. Kybele volunteers have donated not only their precious time but millions of dollars in educational materials, textbooks, medication and supplies to host countries.
The following charts are an analysis of Kybele trip participants from 2003 through 2024.
