Database of volunteers with medical background

This compendium, prepared by the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), aims to capture emerging trends in digital responses of UN Member States against the COVID-19 pandemic along with other digital government initiatives and provide a preliminary analysis of their main features. These cases are shared for exchange of information so that Member States can learn from each other and possibly create new partnerships.

VAAB strengthens the health care system by providing a database to bring together volunteers and organizations who have medical training background. Today, the database contains more than 750 medically trained volunteers to help hospitals.
