it's definitely organized by the State.  also, but only if I understood 
correctly, it's not really "volunteers".  rather: local people who have 
received some sort of training, not enough to qualify as a nurse nor a 
health technician.

these posts are coordinated from the "Centro de Salud" (this is at least 
amenity=clinic).  periodicity of the extra presence definitely varies 
per facility.  to get to know whether they are visited, and with which 
frequency, we can inquire at the coordinating "Centro de Salud" level.

last time I had the chance to visit my nearby Centro de Salud before the 
beginning of thelockdown, I inquired about the /existing/ i.e. /active/ 
dependencies, and they had to scrap a couple of them from the complete 
list.  I did not know they were visited periodically, so I did not ask 
for this piece of information.
