I had an amazing time in Jaipur doing the medical program. I was totally involve in the clinic, They made me feel like a family. I learned a lot about the differences in healthcare between India and the Netherlands. Dr. Packer was very friendly and did everything he could to explain what was going on and answer my questions. Overall I would give them a 10/10 they were very helpful and accommodating. If you ever needed additional help he was always there to help and provide guidance. The driver and coordinator of the program were amazing, very friendly and willing to show their beautiful city. The tour of Jaipur included in the program was a nice addition to the experience as well!! I would recommend this program to every traveler’s. It was worth it at the end.
Pros : Learning culture, Family environment.
Cons: None.

I really enjoyed and learned a lot from the program. In general I have nothing but good things to say about VWI .I graduated in the medical field and work in the ambulance. In my volunteering days with VWI we were able to do day cares where we assessed different people (aged 13 days to 78 years).I had totally involved in medical procedures. With the help of the VWI team, I was also able to learn some Hindi and communicate quite well with families The conversations we had were interesting. As volunteer, we were welcomed with open arms. I was honored to make meaningful relationships with both the women and children. The staff was very nice and wonderful . They took you through simple actions and when they thought something was interesting to see they called you to look. I had a nice time. I would definitely recommend.

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 to provide hands on support with the help of doctor.

Mobile medicine is a nice idea for local people who are in need or who live in some rural areas. During the experience of medical project here, I had chance to understand the local medical conditions and problems in India. I could discuss those problems with local workers, and tried to find a better ways of volunteering. I could participate in the process of medical consultation, preparing and giving medicine. We also checked the physical conditions of children in the village once a week. I have also learned some local language to make a better interaction with local people. I really learned a lot by the observation and enjoyed these days! We also had similar program in my hometown, and I will bring my experience back to make a better medical service 😊
I was so proud of myself at the first time that I finished the all process of preparing medicine and giving them to the patients by their language.

The medical program with Volunteering with India is an incredible adventure on a bus-ambulance in which volunteers help the medical and pharmacist staff of the TAABAR ngo in assisting rural areas of Jaipur that otherwise would not have access to treatment.
After a strong cultural impact due to diversity in the approach with the patient, inadeguate medical devices and a huge language barrier I found a wonderful team that taught me to recognize the associations of Indian drugs, the most common diseases in India and to deliver medicines to patients.
So, even without ‘standard’ medical acts, I felt part of the team and it just made me feel like I was doing something.
Definitely I would do this experience a million times again.
