Equal Health first took roots at a health camp in the Tamil Nadu village areas of India. What started out as the “Spectacle Aid to India Program” grew to become a comprehensive health mission that strives to deliver services through collaborative efforts of multiple healthcare organisations. Equal Health now proudly supports patients in India and East Timor. The primary effort delivers sixty health care professionals to work in Southern India for two weeks annually.

Currently volunteers pay a tax-deductible donation to Equal Health. Equal Health then pays for your airfares, taxes, travel insurance, accommodation, food, water, washing and transport while you are on your placement. Volunteers are responsible for the cost of their own visa, vaccinations and additional spending money while away.
