Medical Volunteer Program

I was volunteering in Jaipur, in medical program. Had amazing time, the staff in the clinic is awesome and they’re doing amazing job with helping people. The accomodation is nice, location is good. Rooms were clean.

My daughter and I spent 2 weeks in Jaipur volunteering with the Mobile Medical Van. The staff was very friendly and the organization is doing commendable work in providing counseling on various health issues and primary health care to children living in underdeveloped areas . We also got a chance to observe few of the other programs run by VWI , including the Women’s empowerment program and the children’s theatre program, which are also run very well. The host family was friendly and warm and the food was fresh and healthy . Overall a great experience !!

I had the best time during this volunteer program, i learnt a lot regarding to medicine and Indian coulture. I had a chance to assist the staff by operating medical devices, measuring blood pressure and make injections. Everybody was very friendly and I felt comfortable working in a small team in the clinic. I would recommend it to anyone interested in working in healthcare and gaining some medical experience. I think 2 weeks is a minimum. The program is mainly observational, and without knowing Hindi I missed a lot on what the patients and doctor said, so make sure you learn some basics beforehand, to not feel left out. Not everything was included(tickets for sightseeing, transport for the evening shift).
