Is there any legal protection from liability/lawsuits when a person volunteers their time and resources to participate in a medical or dental humanitarian mission overseas where services are performed? Thank you.

Professional malpractice insurance which specifically covers all acts, including those performed abroad.
Some countries do not have a legal concept of "medical malpractice" or it could be different from that in the United States.
