Health & Medicine
In the isolated and remote villages of India, many have to walk miles before they can be treated for illness. In light of this, IGL provides free or affordable medical care through village clinics and a hospital referral system.
Teams of doctors, nurses, paramedics and other medical personnel from the U.S. are an integral part of bringing aid to these rural clinics. To find out more about being a part of a medical team, click here.
Nursing Student Sponsorships
Some adults in the villages IGL reaches have lived their entire lives without ever meeting a nurse or doctor. Your sponsorship will train one young woman to return to the villages and give basic medical care, immunizations and preventative care.
Leprosy Care
Once a person with leprosy receives medication, it only takes two weeks until that person is no longer contagious. But in India, when someone finds they have leprosy, their own family members disown them, consider them cursed and send them away from their homes. Your gift will provide food, special shoes, housing and other needs for lepers who are denied the most basic of human rights due to the disease.
Wheelchairs
Without a wheelchair, disabled villagers are imprisoned by their surroundings. Many people are unable to leave their beds or forced to be carried or crawl to get around. Your gift of a wheelchair dramatically enables and changes the life of its recipient.

Medical Camps
For people living in the most remote parts of India, the nearest health care center may be more than 100 miles away on foot! Your gift will provide on-site clinics in rural villages where adults and children receive care, some for the first time in their lives. Your donation for one medical camp will bring aid to hundreds of villagers.

Surgeries
Right now, hundreds of victims of polio, cancer, cleft lips and palettes and more have no access to a surgery that could easily save their lives. Your gift provides corrective surgery and rehabilitation for those that cannot afford it.
Nursing School Text Books
Textbooks and professional journals are needed to support the new, state-accredited curriculum in all areas of nursing practice including medical, surgical, OB/GYN, pediatric, ICU and community health nursing.
