Medical Volunteers

The key role of the medical volunteers is to help the IRHS paramedics learn primary healthcare techniques. In addition to teaching / mentoring the paramedics, medical volunteers have helped us develop in many ways:

  • women's healthcare issues
  • consultation skills
  • physiotherapy
  • clinic management
Most IRHS medical volunteers are doctors, though we welcome contributions from all of the medical professions, especially nurses. Could you train our paramedics in primary healthcare techniques? Are there other areas of patient care that you could help us develop? This is your opportunity to make a difference to many lives in rural Southern India. Contact the IRHS, and be the change you want to see.
