August 2012 Kings College Medical Brigade Ghana



Ileena's Message

Hello,
This summer I will be going to Ghana with Global Brigades to help run a clinic and provide medical aid to a rural community.
I'm trying to raise money for all the medical supplies, drugs and healthcare equipment that we will take with us to be used while we are there (no patient leaves empty handed as many travel for miles by foot and queue for a long time to be seen), and in the long-term so an improved quality of life can be achieved once we have left.
See below for further information on the charity and I would be extremely grateful if you could please donate as much or as little as you can towards this project as every penny counts.
Thank you very much,
Ileena

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.
