The following are few hospitals and clinics
as sample of possible rotations during this program. Restrictions
may apply for pre-clinical and pre-medical students. Rotation
availability depends on local conditions.
Mumbai Municipal TB Hospital :
This is a specialty hospital that deals only in tuberculosis
cases. At any given time there are over 500 TB patients at
this location. The hospital is a big facility that covers
over 7 buildings. Students will have a chance to study TB,
receive lectures, and rotate in the wards and the outpatient
clinics.
Leprosy Hospital :
The local government in Mumbai runs this 18-acre hospital
completely devoted to leprosy cases. Here students will see
leprosy cases, receive lectures and be able to visit a leprosy
museum. At any given time there are over 200 leprosy patients
at this location.
Infectious Disease Hospital :
Students will rotate at a tertiary hospital for infectious
diseases. Here they will have the opportunity to study cases
in Malaria, TB, typhoid, hepatitis A and C, and a variety
of parasitic infections.
Slum Clinics :
CFHI also partners with two small clinics run in the extremely
poor areas of Mumbai. These are located in the slums where
majority of the urban poor live. These clinics are very small
and run by an individual doctor and assistant. Main focus
here will be on primary care.
All rotations are subject to change depending on local availability
and upon general Indian holidays. Local coordinators will
do their best to make alternate arrangements if a particular
activity or facility is not available during the program month.
