Elon University Medical Brigade Aug 2013 Ghana



Megan's Message

Hi family and friends! This August I will be traveling to Ghana along with a team of students, volunteers, and physicians as a part of Elon University's Medical Brigade. Throughout my 10-day trip, I will assist physicians in providing medical care to members of the communities in need. I am so excited and grateful for this opportunity and would appreciate any donations that you can make to help me. Thanks!

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 interact with community members and discuss some of the public and environmental health issues that were part of the Public Health portion of the clinic and to provide for some follow up to those discussions.
