Medicine Internships in Cape Coast

Immerse yourself in a beautiful Ghanaian city while learning about the countrys approach to providing healthcare services to its citizens. Program participants will gain a global perspective on the overall Ghanaian healthcare system delivery services, various socioeconomic factors, and the structural and financial healthcare challenges medical professionals deal with. They will be able to address public health topics like family planning, adoption, teen pregnancy, sex education, and endemic tropical diseases. They will gain an understanding of how some of the issues are viewed culturally in this day and age. Participants will rotate in various departments at the hospital, and will work alongside medical professionals, medical students, and specialists. They will also explore community health centers connected to the hospital.

RECRUITING NOW! Get the chance to volunteer in a laboratory in Ghana, an area that needs your support. Volunteers will be based in a hospital that provides services in general medicine: ophthalmology, ECG, venereology, dermatology, x-ray, laboratory tests, obstetrics and gynecology, surgery, medicine, ultrasound, and mother and child healthcare. There is only one laboratory in the whole hospital, which focuses on blood, urine, and feces, so volunteers will never be short of work to do! This is a fantastic project for anyone with an interest in laboratory work as volunteers will gain an insight into local diseases. Volunteers are highly valued by the local staff and encourage cross-cultural awareness and the development of making global citizens. In connection to COVID-19, Ghana has put in place some precautionary measures for the locals' and visitors' safety. Volunteers need to be fully vaccinated to participate in the program. You will also be required to take a PCR test at the airport upon arrival in Ghana. You will be spending ​the first three nights in a hotel arranged by the ground team before joining your homestay.
