Program Overview

Our Generation Voluntary Organisation partners with several hospitals in Ghana that need midwifery school electives/midwife interns. These are either busy city hospitals or smaller town hospitals and clinics. Hospitals in Ghana offer an excellent base for learning and improving midwifery skills.

International participants will discover a different approach to midwifery and will learn a lot about various unfamiliar methods. Participants come into contact with pregnant women suffering from complications such as malaria and typhoid on an almost daily basis. These experiences will be of huge value to your future career in midwifery.

Fantastic

My project was very suitable and precisely what I wanted to do. I felt that the placement and my time with my program was very important and was extremely appreciated! I actually found the living arrangements, meals, and hosts exceptional and exceeded my expectations. I was not disappointed but thought I would be living in many different conditions, but was not disappointed in any sense. I have been pushing my friends and family to try this program since my arrival back home. I must confess that OGVO did well organizing my internship program. I'm grateful to all the midwives, doctors and nurses at the hospital. Truly, OGVO is the best organization to travel with and I will recommend all participants to travel with them if only they are going to Ghana.
