Program Overview

Join a medical volunteer campaign in Ghana and help in treating and educating patients as well as providing basic checkups and treatment to members of the community. Assist in the distribution of vitamins and other medication, and delivery of health education information appropriate to both children and adults. A week-long Medical Volunteer Campaign involves visiting and working in up to five communities, with one day typically encompassing 4 hours of work.

During the week-long campaign, your group will work together with our local team to provide basic health services to populations that may not otherwise have access to regular healthcare services.

OGVO Groups are incredibly beneficial to these communities, as they enable both children and adults to receive basic check-ups, important vitamins and medication. They also increase understanding of basic health topics.

Volunteers are required to bring their own basic medical supplies, including a white coat, scrubs, disposable rubber (or latex) gloves, antibacterial soap or sanitizer, a stethoscope, and a blood pressure cuff.
