University of Illinois Chicago Medical Brigade December 2017 Ghana



Badal's Message

Hello, Thank you for checking out trip page! I am very excited to be co-leading a Medical Brigade to Ghana this year! Sustainable health is something that I am very interested in and I hope that one day, countries like Ghana will have a health system in place just like what we have in the states!

Volunteer Activity Description

Global Brigades offers 7-9 day Medical Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama and Nicaragua. During a Medical Brigade, volunteers have the opportunity to take vitals and patient history in triage, shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations, and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists. Each of our partner communities receives a brigade approximately twice a year. Between brigades, our in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and to conduct Community Health Worker (CHW) trainings to empower local leaders to sustain a consistent level of healthcare. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends.
