Bidada International Foundation
Provides medical and surgical treatment for patients of all ages, castes, and races.
Overview
The foundation organizes a major medical camp every year in January in the village Bidada, Kutch, Gujarat, India. We invite our supporters to be a part of this incredible healing experience. We encourage non-medical volunteers (young and old) as well as medical students, residents and physicians to participate in the camp. Lending a helping hand to less fortunate, needy people will bring a sense of fulfillment and inner satisfaction unlike any other.
Volunteers are responsible for travel arrangements to Mumbai, however the foundation assists it’s volunteers with travel and lodging arrangements from Mumbai to Bidada.
To participate in the January medical camp please download, fill out, and return the forms below via email to [email protected].
The ‘General Registration Form‘ is required for ALL medical camp volunteers, MCI-07 is required by the government of India for volunteers who are foreign medical professionals planning to practice medicine at the medical camp.
For any additional inquiries please contact us via email at [email protected].
