The India Health Initiative has two chief mandates: Education and service.

IHI aims to encourage the education of well-rounded health care professionals for the future by providing opportunities for the development of clinical, research, teaching and communication skills in various cultural and socio-economic settings, and by exposing students to complex public health issues, the healthcare systems and the ailments experienced by the inhabitants of an extremely diverse and developing country.

IHI tries to contribute to healthcare and health promotion in India by assisting the efforts of organizations working in this field. This is done by

• Developing and fostering relationships and projects with key individuals and organizations
• Developing and gathering educational materials
• Collecting medical supplies, equipment and monetary donations for these organizations, and
• Increasing awareness of India's culture and the problems faced by its people at the University of Western Ontario and the local Canadian community.
