Program description: |
|
|
Our health care programs bring Service and learning into our hospitals and clinics in Ghana This is as a result of the exodus of our health personnel to developed countries in search for green pastures. These situations have created a vacuum in our hospital and clinic in our communities. Besides,due to inadequate health personnel people die of illnesses and diseases which would have been prevented if there were health personnel.
Medical outreach Project: Volunteers duties are providing health education, taking history of patient, consultation, treating patient and treating wound.
Placement in Clinic and Hospital; Volunteers duties are observing and helping in the O.P.D, consultation room, laboratory etc.
