Program description: |
|
|
Joining a Medicine & Healthcare programme in Southern India is a real eye-opener. You will see a medical and healthcare system that in many ways reflects the West but is interspersed with local influences. You may find a doctor trained in Europe who will not carry out an operation because of the position of the stars! You will come across tropical diseases rarely encountered in the West and conditions that have not been diagnosed until very advanced stages.
If you wish to volunteer as a physiotherapist in India you would be working in the Leprosy Mission in Manamadurai, the famous Temple City. This affliction is still a big problem in India and you can provide much-needed help to the patients, as well as easing the burden on the staff who work there.
