Birmingham Medical/Dental Brigade Ghana 2014



Chloe's Message

In July 2014 I’m volunteering in Ghana for 10 days as part of the Medical Global Brigades Project. I will be volunteering in a rural community of Ghana setting up a mobile health clinic and running health education programs. Within the clinic, members of the community will be examined and diagnosed by a trained doctor and provided with necessary medication. These communities will be receiving health care, which they wouldn’t otherwise be able to access or afford.

I strongly believe this is a really worthwhile project with fantastic goals. Without volunteers going on Medical Brigades many communities would not have access or be able to afford necessary healthcare, which is often taken for granted here.
I feel that sending brigades out to communities, opening up clinics and providing medication, is important and makes a real difference to the lives and health of people living in the communities.

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.
