My immediate thought is that you get in touch with a wonderful group of doctors called <a href="http://www.communityhealth.in/%7Ecommun26/wiki/index.php?title=Jan_Swasthya_Sahayog" rel="nofollow">Jan Swasthya Sahyog</a> based in Bilaspur district, Chhattisgarh. They run a hospital and public health project for an underserved rural community with whom they have built a tremendous amount of goodwill and trust over the past ten years. The photographs entitled Doctors and Rural Health on my website document their work. I'm not sure if they take on overseas volunteer doctors because of the language barrier. They all speak English but the community don't. You can make contact through Ramani, one of the doctors who has a very good blog which I highly recommend: <a href="http://ramani-fieldnotes.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">ramani-fieldnotes.blogspot.com</a> Good luck and keep me in touch!

I am part of a charity called University College Dublin Volunteers Overseas (UCDVO), and have spent the last two summers volunteering in India. I saw your post on the Guardian article about Dr Devi Shetty, and have looked through your website. UCDVO and I would like to get more involved in Wada Na Todo Abhiyan, and in campaigning for equality in general in India. In you opinion, what would be the best way for an Irish medical student to go about doing this? Last year I organised a 'Stop Aids' rally in Vijayawada which appeared in the national media, so we are not totally new to these sort of things. Would working in one of Dr Shetty's gigantic 'heart hospitals' for a month or two amount to me being a voyeur, or do you think I could participate in any effective way in campaigning? Your help would be much appreciated, Donal I am a 4th year medical student in Ireland.
