Health & Safety

Upon arrival in India you will attend a detailed orientation that includes a session on staying safe and healthy while living in India.

Mangalore is a center for medical education and has 33 hospitals. Our staff will provide you with a list of clinic names and phone numbers during orientation.

Our on-site resident director and staff are available to you whenever you need medical or any other type of assistance.

Quality of care

Medical care in India is widely available.  It ranges from local doctors to internationally known hospitals such as the Apollo Group.

Staying Safe

While you are abroad, it is important to follow the same common-sense safety precautions that you follow at home: never walk alone at night, keep doors locked, do not allow strangers into your housing, and never leave bags or backpacks unattended. We strongly urge all students to read the U.S. State Department’s information regarding travel to India.
