India volunteering- medical program

April 04, 2025by: Nicola Freeman - United KingdomProgram: Volunteer in Healthcare in India

I had an absolutely amazing time in India volunteering at a slum clinic, as a paediatric nurse, the local team were brilliant with lots of helpful and useful advice. The food at the home stay was delicious and nutritious and IVHQ were great support with answering all my questions and queries before I left, a great pre placement training module, insurance and arranging pick up from the airport. I knew I had support 24/7 and felt completely at ease the whole time I was away without any worries. I would absolutely 100% do another volunteering programme with IVHQ again and definitely go back to India again as I loved it!

This is the second time I have travelled with IVHQ

This is the second time I have travelled with IVHQ, New Delhi India in 2024 and Kochi India in 2023. Each time, my IVHQ Program Manager was very helpful and supportive so thank you! I felt that volunteering in the slum clinic was very impactful. I discovered New Delhi and the Indian culture, learnt so much on a medical aspect and met so many lovely people (both the locals and the other volunteers). I would highly recommend IVHQ to have a fabulous and impacting experience in complete safety.

I met so many incredible people from all over the world

I could not be more grateful to the local team in Delhi, India. They were very easy to contact at any time, communication or relations were the most heart-warming and pleasant, perfect care was provided 24/7. Personally, volunteering in the slum clinic (in Faridabad, India) undoubtedly changed my perspective of life, values, family and friends. I have probably never seen such heart-warming people with the biggest smiles in my life as in the slum clinic. Treatments and providing help in the slum clinic was definitely primitive, arriving from the western end of the world, ever so small yet mind blowing to the locals. I could not be more grateful for the opportunity given to me and so are people in Faridabad, India. Moreover, I met so many incredible people from all over the world and made so many lifelong friends.

    Volunteers on the Health project work in either local hospitals or slum clinics, shadowing well-respected physicians who are passionate about sharing their knowledge and expertise, while offering a valuable insight into the healthcare system of one of the world’s fastest growing countries. While hospitals are under-resourced and equipment is basic, these institutions are bound by government regulations and cannot allow international volunteers to perform tasks independently. In Delhi, the role of pre-medical students is primarily to observe and learn about prevalent diseases and how these diseases are treated by the healthcare system in India. Volunteers generally assist local doctors and nurses with routine jobs, such as taking the height, weight and blood pressure measurements of pa...
