Passionate About:

As part of the first chapter of the Global Medical Brigade at St. John’s University in New York, we hope to take 40 students to take part in a free medical clinic to the poverty stricken people of Ghana. This will be a 10-day mission that where I will assist my fellow brigaders as well as shadow physicians, which will help prepare me for a career in medicine. In order for me to do this, I need to raise $2500 for this cause. I myself hope to be a part of these brigades as a future physician, and as such, this is a crucial first step for me in my path to medicine.

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.
