India volunteering- medical program
April 04, 2025by: Nicola Freeman - United KingdomProgram: Volunteer in Healthcare in IndiaI 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
July 25, 2024by: Apolline CharpentierProgram: Volunteer in Healthcare in IndiaThis 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
August 05, 2023by: Agne DagilyteProgram: Volunteer in Healthcare in IndiaI 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.
