Volunteer Activity Description

Start Date: May 1, 2014 12:00 AM
End Date: May 10, 2014 12:00 AM

Medical Brigades in Ghana, Global Brigades most recent addition, consists of a 10-day brigade that includes 4 clinic days, door-to-door visits, and a public health day. The extended trip also gives the students opportunity to bond with the communities during opening and closing ceremony days and an additional travel day. Global Brigades Ghana operates in the Central Region located right on the coast of the Gulf of Guinea, which is the former Gold Coast of West Africa. More specifically, we work closely with the Ministry of Health and the Health Insurance Program in the Mfantseman District that has a doctor to patient ratio of 1 : 48,029. The main health concerns of our communities includes malaria, waterborne illnesses, hypertension, and upper respiratory tract infections.

 Passionate about: I believe in the power of education. I also believe education is a two way street and that I have just as much, if not more, to learn from those countries in need of assistance.
