Voluntary service

The hospital welcomes visits from suitably qualified and experienced personnel for longer periods, with many opportunities for the exchange of knowledge and the encouragement of CMC staff in their work.

The cardiac ward at CMC Ludhiana
The cardiac ward

A wide range of personnel have made a worthwhile contribution in the past few years, including:

  • doctors, dentists and surgeons
  • nurses and midwives
  • physiotherapists and occupational therapists
  • radiographers and pharmacists
  • biochemists and haematologists
  • cardiac and orthopaedic technicians
  • engineers
  • management consultants
  • accountants and administrators
  • maintenance staff

The usual financial arrangement is for the professional, academic or volunteer to pay their air fare. Board and lodging at CMC will be provided by the institution. Offers are referred to CMC so that the placement can be matched to a current need.

Relationships were the focus. I thank God for this wonderful experience and opportunity, to join with other Christians in my passion for nursing.

Several years ago I wrote to the Friends of Ludhiana with a need of visiting ENT surgeons who would be willing to teach us the various finer aspects of surgery, which the books usually don't give — and they managed to arrange three ENT surgeons to visit us. He was mainly supervising us and teaching us the tips, tricks and traps, and later focused on the doctor-patient relationship, the sharing of work and the planning of fixed days so as to achieve excellence in patient care, academics and research.
