Pause your own activity and escalate when safety, consent, quality or capacity is unclear.
Escalate budget commitments, external promises, partner agreements and material changes to Approved Philippines Partnership Leads.

Role boundaries
This is an unpaid volunteer role. It does not create an employment relationship or expectation of future paid work.

Use only approved systems for personal, partner or program information.

This role does not provide clinical advice, diagnosis, treatment or unsupervised patient contact.
