Join
International Volunteer HQ, the world’s leading volunteer travel organization, and support the
Medical Volunteer Program in India.
On this program, you will assist in under-resourced hospitals or slum clinics in Faridabad. Volunteers will gain medical experience and learn about the Indian healthcare system by shadowing qualified professionals and helping them when appropriate. This improves access to healthcare for the local community and facilitates a cross-cultural exchange of ideas and learnings that benefits both volunteers and local staff.
You’ll stay in a volunteer house outside of central Delhi, in Faridabad, where you can expect to share a room with one to three other volunteers of the same gender.
The program has
start dates on the first and third Monday of each month throughout the year.
This program ranges from 1-24 weeks. Your fully-hosted experience includes airport pick-up, orientation, accommodation, meals and 24/7 support. Detailed pricing information for your duration is available
on our website.
Your Impact
Healthcare in Delhi is free, but public hospitals tend to be underfunded, understaffed and overcrowded. They are also not easily accessible for the millions of people who live outside of the main city centers. Clinics in India’s slums help to address this issue by bringing medical care to people where they need it the most.
Volunteers can help at both hospitals and slum clinics, but local regulations generally prevent international volunteers from treating patients independently.
Volunteers who are still in training will have the opportunity to observe local professionals and learn about the treatment of prevalent diseases in India. Duties may include:
- Assisting with routine medical tasks
- Measuring and weighing patients
- Taking blood pressure
- Routine check-ups
- Provide advice about nutrition, general health and sanitation
