Stephanie Fassu- Noulaheu

Sacramento, California

Passionate About:

GLOBAL HEALTH....
Any one who's asked me why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare knows that I long for a career in global health. I grew up witnessing and living the financial, psychosocial and emotional consequences of a poor health care system in my native Cameroon. This gave me the drive to yearn for a career in global health and reach out to the less fortunate of the world...
From April 20th, 2012, to May 1st, 2012, I will be traveling with a group of twenty-five students from Samuel Merritt University, along with 3 Nurse Practitioners to the Mfantseman district of Ghana, through Global Brigades.

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 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.
