Health Sector
Majority of the people living in India have been experiencing severe health problems due to the dearth of health care education, medical services, and resources. Moreover, the doctor-patient ratio is very poor, with one doctor caring for approximately 5,000 patients. Most of the health care services are centralized in urban areas with little or no treatment privileges available in rural areas. The lack of qualified health treatment workers has resulted in many health problems in India.
Realizing this situation, RCDP-India has teamed up with local health care providers and offered volunteers with medical background to treat poor. This is a wonderful opportunity for you if want to serve humanity and the help make the lives of desperately poor better.
