DePaul Ghana Medical Brigade June 2013



Carolyn's Message

I am the medication and supply coordinator for this and all medical brigades, so if you have any questions or want to make a donation, please contact me at cstraub15@yahoo.com.

I went on a medical brigade to Ghana last summer and I loved it. I want to go back again this summer to see how everyone's doing. I feel such a connection to the Ghanaian people now that I can't see myself going anywhere else. I hope to be on the executive board and lead my own brigade when I'm an upperclassman.

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.
