About Program
Are you trained to provide free medical care to people in rural communities of Ghana?
If you are a healthcare professional, a student or a retired professional, you can help people who are in dare need of medical care.
Africa at Heart has formed a partnership with community trained healthcare givers to organise healthcare screening exercise in some selected communities where healthcare is in need. Most of the people who receive assistance are women, children, and elderly.
We will set up five community clinics per week, with the expectation of maximizing our efforts on all clinic sites. Students will be led by a Ghanaian medical professional.
From the arrival of the patients, we will register them, take them to triage, and then take them to see and visit with the doctors. Once the examination is completed, each patient will receive a list of medications that a runner will bring to our pharmacy.
Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.
