Public Health Education Volunteer Program
St. Miracle Works Educational Foundation offers a medical volunteer program in rural and semi-rural areas in Ghana. This is suitable for individuals seeking hands-on experience and medical work exposure abroad. Medical professionals are also welcome to participate and assist as much as possible. Pre-med, medical, and nursing students can join as interns, learning about healthcare from an international context and contributing toward the local people's general well-being. Placements are in medical clinics, dispensaries, and hospitals in underserved communities. Tasks and responsibilities vary depending on educational background, experience, and skill. St. Miracle Works Educational Foundation also arranges Elective and Dentistry placements in Ghana. Volunteers work in the dental department in hospitals. The program is ideal for students looking to gain hands-on knowledge and experience by working under the supervision of dentists and dental assistants. Volunteers with medical training and medical students will support the local health centers in Ghana. These clinics and hospitals are severely understaffed and struggle to provide general care.
