UCONN Medical Brigade May 2013 Ghana



Erica's Message

Hi Everyone! This will be my second brigade to Ghana thank you to everyone who made my first one possible! I had such an amazing time and I definitely saw the difference we were making not only in the overall health of the community but their morale as well. I can not wait to go back and improve even further the lives of others while they are enriching mine! You can view pictures from my brigade last year on my facebook page I encourage you all to check it out and spread the word to your friends to donate once more!

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. Yeah Buddy.
