HealthCare/Medical & Nursing Student Volunteering Abroad Ghana
MEDICAL VOLUNTEER PROGRAM DETAIL
Our medical student volunteering healthcare programs bring Service and learning into our hospitals and clinics in Ghana.This is as a result of the exodus of our health personnel to developed countries in search for green pastures. These situations have created a vacuum in our hospital and clinic in our communities. Besides,due to inadequate health personnel people die of illness and diseases which would have been prevented if there were health personnel.
Doctors and medical students in search of experience with tropical diseases and developing world medicine will find a very rewarding experience in our medical internship program.
