Volunteering: An Act Beyond Charity

Oral health knows no boundaries. Unfortunately, the need for dental services on behalf of the underserved populations is so great that demand for oral health care volunteers always exceeds the supply. Paroksha is a strong advocate of volunteerism and encourages its members and others in the health community to share their time and talents with those in developing areas across India. In order to promote and encourage overseas volunteer activities the Association participates in and sponsors several programs.

To acknowledge those who have selflessly volunteered their time and talents, the Association has instituted programs to recognize such efforts. The Certificate of Recognition for Volunteer Service for dentists and dental student volunteers who have spent performing services in rural areas of India.
