ABOUT DOCTORS FOR INDIA

Vision : Bring together professionals willing to collaborate and transform healthcare to its original purpose where people are not exploited in the midst of sickness and suffering but discover an opportunity for healing, comfort and the rediscovery of hope and God.

Therefore, Doctors for India will enable rural, mission hospitals run by women Religious to meet their most urgent requirement of Doctors through a fixed duration voluntary commitment and ensure medical services to the poor and vulnerable.
