On overseas healthcare volunteering programs you can help communities affected by poverty, disease and disability. For example in India you can support NGOs and charities by volunteering with local organizations.

Some companies offer pre-university medical, nursing and dental work experience placements to help in a future career in healthcare.

India Healthcare Volunteer Projects

Each child has a health check when they are taken in by the orphanage and many suffer from medical conditions such as malnutrition. In some cases disabled children have been abandoned because their family simply cannot afford to support them. Following these health checks, a programme of treatment is created for each child and gap year volunteers can help to deliver these under supervision from orphanage staff.
