Passionate About:

"I take delight in making a difference from a minuscule scale in my community to the ends of the world." ---Bithiah Sam
I am a native Ghanaian, born and raised in Ghana.
I behold the kind of passion which enables me to take charge and do something concerning public health. For that reason, I aspire to become an international doctor.
I am personally passionate about this trip, because a few years ago my grandfather was admitted to one of the biggest hospitals in Ghana. During his time in the hospital there were a few doctors on duty, so he didn't receive the best medical care. One weekend, with only a few doctors, attending to other patients, he had a stroke in his hospital bed and died.

Volunteer Activity Message

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 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.
