Product Details

Projects Abroad can organise medical experience and observation projects in Ghana which will provide you with an excellent preparation for your career in nursing. You will experience the stark contrast between medical practice in the West and developing countries, and are likely to gain unparalleled experience of a number of conditions which, for social or economic reasons have been left untreated and have developed into advanced pathological conditions.

The programme is tailored, where possible, to your individual experience and interests and to your preferred size and type of hospital or clinic. You will be involved in the day-to-day running of hospitals and clinics, observing or directly assisting doctors and nurses. Volunteers shadow a nurse around various wards in a hospital or clinic. Your help is needed on wards, and the more experience you have had, the more you can help with.

Gap year students' work will be more observational, whilst undergraduates and qualified or experienced nurses will be able to help out in more practical ways. By demonstrating initiative and enthusiasm, you can help out in simple but practical ways, whilst vastly increasing your medical knowledge.

In Ghana, Projects Abroad works in four centres: Accra, the capital city, the Akuapem Hills, the city of Kumasi and another town, Cape Coast. All volunteers are allocated a supervisor within their placement and also have the back-up of our staff in the local office and the UK.

During your spare time, there are great opportunities here for travelling around Ghana, and other parts of Africa. Ghana is the home of Africa's friendliest and most welcoming people, an intensely colourful land of dense forest, wild savannah and great beaches. The country is also a beacon of political stability and English is the official language.
