The Indian healthcare system encapsulates why some people may think twice about visiting the country. The medical volunteering programme seeks to open the volunteer’s eyes to the situation and shine a light on the country’s healthcare requirements. At all times, the medical volunteering programme shall seek to highlight the sanitary conditions in India. In no case will the volunteer be necessary or required for the programme to run.
