Passionate About:

I am most passionate about making others happy.Ghana is an "island of peace" but the economic and health service inequalities between rural and urban regions within the country have left the country with unbalanced development. Global Medical Brigades develops sustainable health initiatives and provides relief where there is limited access to healthcare. Each year, more than 3,000 student volunteers and health professionals travel to Central America to establish mobile medical clinics in under-resourced communities. Each community with whom we partner receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months in which hundreds of patients are treated and volunteers deliver public health workshops. Between brigades, our in-country teams maintain relationships with the communities to provide follow-up
