Chinyere Ukaegbu

New York

Passionate About:

In all that I do, I seek to use the tools that I have learned to service others and take one more step towards a better world. Whether it is working to end racism, or working to provide healthcare, I am passionate about making the ills of society less of a burden for the next generation. As an anthropology major and chemistry minor, I plan to one day become a physician who actually emphasizes the anthropological aspect of being a physician. Too often, doctor visits become a robotic checking of symptoms and vital signs. With the anthropological focus on the human being and its culture, I plan to bring the humanity that is too often missing from patient visits. Only through cultural cognizance can a physician properly investigate the ailments of patients. I hope to fufill this promise.

St. John's Medical Brigade May 2014 Ghana
  1. Affiliated Organization: Global Brigades USA
  2. Program: Medical Brigades
  3. Chapter: Medical Brigades at St. John's University
End Date: Jun 09, 2014 12:00 AM
Volunteer Activity Message

Global Medical and Dental Brigades in Ghana work alongside each other on a 10-day long brigade in under-resourced communities around the central region of Ghana. Each medical and dental brigade incorporates a public health portion at the end of the 4 clinical days. The 10-day medical and public health brigade provides volunteers with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on communities while gaining hands-on experience in the field of international medicine. Prior to travel, volunteers collect medicines, recruit health professionals and fundraise. Once in Ghana, the team will visit one partner community to administer a 4 day-long clinic and conduct health workshops. During clinical days, community members are able to consult doctors and dentists, fill any necessary prescriptions, receive necessary dental care, and sit-in on health education lectures.
