DePaul Ghana Medical Brigade June 2013



Alexandra's Message

This June, I will be traveling to Ghana to participate in a medical brigade. The group I will be traveling with is a discipline of Global Brigades, the world's largest student-led global health and sustainable development organization. During this time, several of my peers and I will work together, alongside healthcare professionals, to provide help in an under-resourced community.

This is an amazing opportunity, but as you may have guessed, it is also a costly one. I realize that I do not have the means to completely afford it myself. Every dollar will make a difference, and every dollar will mean the world to not only me, but to the people of the communities that I will be helping. A donation of any kind would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,
Alexandra Wilson



Volunteer Activity Description

Global Medical and Dental Brigades in Ghana work alongside each other on a 10-day long brigade in under-resourced communities around the central region of Ghana. Each medical and dental brigade incorporates a public health portion at the end of the 4 clinical days. The 10-day medical and public health brigade provides volunteers with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on communities while gaining hands-on experience in the field of international medicine. Prior to travel, volunteers collect medicines, recruit health professionals and fundraise. Once in Ghana, the team will visit one partner community to administer a 3-4 day-long clinic and conduct health workshops. During clinical days, community members are able to consult doctors and dentists, fill any necessary prescriptions, receive necessary dental care, and sit-in on health education lectures.
