MEDICAL CARE 2018

Medical care in developing countries is often desperately limited due to problems of limited knowledge, under funding, and oversubscription. Hospitals and clinics throughout these countries can be severely under resourced and are continually open to extra support. This story is true of Ghana, and we have developed a close relationship with a number of hospitals and clinics in the Ghanaian capital, Accra, to provide opportunities for improvements to the quality and delivery of local healthcare services. We welcome you, with or without previous medical experience, since you will not be asked to undertake any work that requires formal medical training. Much of your role will be in a support capacity, working alongside professional medical staff in Ghana. You are likely to spend much of your time shadowing the local staff in their day-to-day work, learning how they manage and interact with patients. At other times you will be invited to offer a more hands-on role to the medical care being delivered, provided you are capable in that role.. Aims & Objectives : Create cultural exchange opportunities through our efforts with the locals, Assist the local clinics and hospitals with extra hands, to support medical service delivery, Develop your teamwork, knowledge and skills through hands on activity.
