About Program
Volunteering and working in the hospital is an important way to learn and help. It allows you to have a deeper understanding of the Ghanaian healthcare system and appreciate working with limited resources. Your experience with the hospital will be educative, challenging, convenient and affordable. Learning opportunities are diverse therefore we provide the learning goals with guidance. You will have the chance to choose which medical areas or departments you are more comfortable with and prefer to work in.
The organisation works with the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital (which is the largest in the Central Region of Ghana), The Metropolitan Hospital, University of Cape Coast Hospital, Ewim Polyclinic and some private hospitals in Cape Coast (Baiden Ghartey Mem. Hospital, Doctors in Service (DIS), and Sanford World Clinics). In the course of the program, you will be working with Community Health Facilities to also experience the lowest forms of healthcare in Cape Coast.
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.
