Though Ghana has made rapid strides to improve its healthcare facilities, this improvement has yet to reach rural areas. There, the poor still succumb to curable disease and the injured and the sick have to travel far and wide to receive proper treatment. Join RCDP’s health project in Ghana now and go where the poor and the sick are and help them have a healthier life.
The aim of the project is to increase access to basic healthcare for rural people, decrease the prevalence of endemic disease and improve overall village health by providing public health projects and promoting health education in the villages. This is a wonderful opportunity for volunteers to help the poor people of Ghana.
The health project in Ghana hires only volunteers who have health care certification, such as student ID of a medical student, EMT or paramedic certification, or nursing or physician's credentials. If you are on the process of acquiring the certification, you will also be considered provided you furnish document to support your claim.
What you will do during health project in Ghana will depend on your skill and experience. Among general things, you might do are assist in consulting room, dispensary and help with physiotherapy, treatment of minor injuries, maternal help and childcare, assisting midwives on visits, and checking and recording patient's information.
RCDP will manage your entire accommodation, meal and supervision during your stay. You will stay with a warm and welcoming host family. We have chosen our host family carefully and they will provide a safe and secure location for you to stay. They will have experience of hosting foreign volunteers before. You will have a room for yourself and at least one member of the host family will be able to communicate with you in English. You will also be served hygienically prepared Ghanaian meals like Fufu, Banku and Yam, three times a day. RCDP In-Country coordinator and staffs will keep in touch with you by either visiting you every week or will contact with via phone. You will be provided with all the contact details of our office in Ghana. If you have anything you want to discuss about, please feel free to contact our In-Country coordinator.
