About Program
In Ghana, poor medical care is a major challenge the people are facing. Most death cases happen as a result of either lack of proper medical care or poor state. At GXVO, we have various health centers and hospitals we work with. Since many health centers are understaffed, the posting of students will help deal with the challenge, the effect of which is to eradicate or reduce poor health conditions in societies. Poor health conditions lead to poverty because the productivity of unhealthy people is low. Due to poverty state, it is difficult to treat diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, typhoid, joint pain, diarrhea, pregnancy-related problems, STIs, amongst others. The inability to deal with these problems properly will cause an increase in the mortality rate in Ghana.
