About Program

offering you the opportunity to gain experience in Ghana through the hard working medical professionals in our health facilities and give volunteers an opportunity to learn about how health system is practiced in Ghana. We SAY acquire credit hours whiles having fun. Volunteers have the opportunity to work with clinics and teaching hospitals.Volunteers are given opportunities such as Monitoring of vital signs, Observing or Assisting with minor surgeries, assisting or Dressing of wounds,etc.

The idea to move into impoverish communities was formed when we realized that most of the cases that report to our health facility could be treatable if detected early. There are several reasons why early detection usually did not occur. These include an inability to visit the hospital due to lack of funds, accessibility (in terms of bad roads and location of the health facility in proximity to the community) and inability to access national health insurance.
