Internships with WHO:

The World Health Organization (WHO) offers a limited number of unpaid internship opportunities to under-graduate or post-graduate university students that are enrolled in medically-related programmes. I applied for one of these and after 10 months of persistence was finally fortunate enough to be awarded such an internship.

My Internship at SEARO:

I spent my elective period undertaking the internship at the WHO Regional Office for South-East Asia (SEARO). The WHO is part of the United Nations and acts as the foremost political authority on global health for its 192 Member States. SEARO oversees the state of health for the 11 Member States that constitute this politically defined region: Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Indonesia, PDR Korea, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, & Timor Leste. The office itself is situated in New Delhi, India.
