Abstract

The medical professions, particularly nursing and medicine, are driven by dedication, compassion, and a profound sense of mission. Many healthcare professionals extend their contributions beyond their routine duties by volunteering in humanitarian and national initiatives, despite significant emotional and ethical challenges. This paper explores the motivations driving nurses to participate in such missions, the challenges they encounter, and their impact on both volunteers and the communities served. Nurses significantly enhance healthcare delivery, community resilience, and global health equity (World Health Organization [WHO], 2021). This paper examines the unique motivation of healthcare professionals to go beyond their daily responsibilities, the factors influencing their decision to engage in humanitarian and national volunteering, and the impact of such efforts on both them and the healthcare systems in the countries they serve. Nurses and healthcare professionals play a crucial role in these missions, as they are at the forefront of patient care, providing direct medical treatment, offering physical and emotional support, managing emergency situations, and training local healthcare teams, thereby strengthening the community’s resilience (WHO, 2021).
