Ghana Medical Experience - Best 3 weeks ever!

Spent 3 weeks with the PMGY Ghana team from 19/06/2016-10/07/2016 and it was one of the best experiences of my life! I took part in the medical programme, which was amazing! So so eye opening, and a massive culture shock. All the medical staff were very welcoming and friendly and we're happy to answer any questions you had about anything at all. Due to the fact not being medically trained, the placement was largely observational but you get out what you put in, the more questions you ask the more you learn! The ONLY small negative I have is that the hospital was very slow placed with lots of waiting around but that's just the Ghanaian culture and something you have to get used to! Seth and the PMGY Ghana team (Rex, Sofia, Adjowa and Maria) were amazing and made the trip that bit more special. They all did their best to make you feel safe and welcome at all times. All the team, particularly Seth, did everything in his power to help you, whether you found something distressing at placement or were unwell Seth would do all he could to resolve the problem no matter the time of day! My only regret is that I didn't decide to stay for longer!! I would recommend the company PMGY and Ghana to anyone :D
