DCU Medical/Dental Brigade Ghana 2014



Aishling's Message

Hi Everyone, I'd really appreciate your help! I'm going to Ghana in June 2014 on a medical brigade. We will provide medical assistance, medication and education to under-resourced communities. I have to raise a total of €1,800. Any donations big or small would be greatly appreciated. Please help and support this cause. I'd be forever grateful! :) Thanks a million.

Volunteer Activity Description

Global Medical and Dental Brigades in Ghana work alongside each other on a 10-day long brigade in under-resourced communities around the central region of Ghana. Each medical and dental brigade incorporates a public health portion at the end of the 4 clinical days. The 10-day medical and public health brigade provides volunteers with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on communities while gaining hands-on experience in the field of international medicine. Prior to travel, volunteers collect medicines, recruit health professionals and fundraise. Once in Ghana, the team will visit one partner community to administer a 3-4 day-long clinic and conduct health workshops. During clinical days, community members are able to consult doctors and dentists, fill any necessary prescriptions, receive necessary dental care, and sit-in on health education lectures. At the end of the medical portion, volunteers then have a chance to build public health projects to address some of the environmental health issues. Public Health construction includes latrines, eco-stoves, and water filtration devices.
