What happens if a fellow gets sick? What health facilities and support exist?
Health and safety are very region-specific. When a fellow arrives at his/her NGO, he/she will complete an orientation, which includes information on local health facilities for the fellow. The NGO will also help a fellow in case of ill health. If a serious health condition arises, AIF will intervene and ensure that the fellow has full support. In addition, all Fellows are covered under a health insurance policy (for emergencies that involve hospitalization) throughout their time in India.
