DePaul Ghana Medical Brigade June 2013



Teresa's Message

I'll be traveling to Ghana for a 10 day medical brigade with a dozen other DePaul students as well as medical volunteers. The volunteer program is called Global Brigades and they work with medical professionals and community health workers to provide health services for communities with limited access to healthcare. Throughout these 10 days we will work in under-resourced communities and provide 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 care, and sit-in on health education lectures. In order to make this trip possible and provide the community with access to this medical clinic, I have to raise a minimal amount of money. If you are able to give any donation, no matter how small, I would greatly appreciate it and so will the people we will be serving in Ghana.

Volunteer Activity Description

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 3-4 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.
