August 2012 Kings College Medical Brigade Ghana



Samiya's Message

Thank you for taking the time to find out more about the Global Brigades campaign!

I will be going to Ghana this August with fellow medical and dental students and we aim to bring healthcare to the more rural communities.

Healthcare access in these regions are very limited often waiting for the next brigade before they recieve any medical advice an attention. We will potentially be diagnosing and treating 300-600 patients EACH day.

The funds we raise here will go towards things such as: purchasing equipment, supplies and medication that we will be treating with and providing on site; the cost of ambulances for patients requiring urgent hospital attention and contributing towards improvements in the local community amongst other things.

We all have an individual target to raise at least £550 towards the cause and all of the money will go towards the project and directly to the local community
--------------------------------------

Please help me to reach my target! =D
EVERY donation makes a difference!
All contributions will be very much appreciated!!

IMPORTANT:
To donate, please make sure to click on the 'donate' button on the left and SELECT 'donating on behalf of Samiya Chaudhry'

Your donation will go directly to Global Brigades but this is the only way for the system to register that I am doing a fundraising event for which you have sponsered me and subsequently you are donating 'on my behalf.' This will ensure that your donation is successfully added towards the global brigades campaign and is also updated as part of my fundraising target. There is an option to appear annoymous if you wish but if you could please still select contributing on my behalf otherwise the amount will not be registered towards my target amount

If you have any questions please feel free to email or fb message me =D

Thank you so much!!

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.
