The nursing internship in India allows students in the health field to validate their professional internship by completing an international field experience. This project offers you the opportunity to specialise throughout the internship, to best match your experience to your course. A supervisor will oversee the smooth running of the placement in the NGO, and will monitor your progress. This experience is made more rewarding by the discovery of a new culture while you learn about a different health care system. Our local NGO also relies on your knowledge to make sure that the medical structures work as well as possible.
Several groups of student nurses went on humanitarian missions to India for their mandatory internship abroad.

Like all of our nursing and medical internship programs abroad, this project in India allows students to gain university credits while acquiring field experience and contributing to the UN’s goal of universal access to health care.

Freepackers’ partner organisation focuses on responsible engagement in India and Sri Lanka.
Since 2013, our volunteers have been involved in education, medical and development projects to bring lasting change to the lives of local communities. Our local NGO prioritises the safety and well-being of its volunteers to ensure that they have the best possible time with the local communities and a memorable experience. The costs charged by the association allow for the financing of operating services, on-site staff, volunteer expenses (meals, lodging, transportation, activities) and a portion of the funds paid to the projects themselves.
