King's College London Dental Brigade Ghana 2014



Maya's Message

This summer I am travelling to Ghana with the hope of helping one of the local communities improve their healthcare. Ghana is home to some of the poorest communities in the entire world who have access to very basic dental care if any at all. In some of the communities Global Brigrades focuses on there is 1 doctor per 48,000 people. By sending as many volunteers and supplies as possible Global Brigrades can significantly reduce this ratio and help people who really need it. By sponsoring me, you can be a part of helping these people improve their quality of life and general healthcare. The money raised can help fund qualified dentists and supplies. Any amount will be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time.

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. At the end of the medical portion, volunteers then have a chance to build public health projects to address some of the environmental health issues. Public Health construction includes latrines, eco-stoves, and water filtration devices.
