Health Care Service in Community Clinic Ghana

The health care system in Ghana is lacking professional knowledge, skills and means. Given the limited resources it is difficult for the hardworking staff to provide basic health care for everyone in the area. This program is suitable for those conducting internships (public health) as well as students and professionals interested in public health in a developing nation.

frequently asked questions

How can I best prepare for departure?

  • We advise you to read our brochure which also contains useful information about the country, the project and the preparation for your adventure.
  • Use our checklist to prepare step by step and keep the overview

What can I do to reduce the chance of a culture shock?

  • This is very difficult and cannot always be prevented since it is part of living in another world. Reading beforehand about the local living situation can help with this.
  • We offer a Follow Your African Sun workshop that focuses specifically on cultural differences, managing your expectations and personal reflection to make your Africa experience as positive as possible.

Do you also offer Workshops on Africa and cultural differences?

Yes, the Follow your African Sun workshop is specifically focused on cultural differences, managing your expectations and personal reflection to make your Africa experience as positive as possible.

Do I need vaccinations and / or medication?

  • For almost all destinations you need vaccinations and sometimes also anti-Malaria medication. We always advise you to make an appointment at the GGD or local health clinic.
  • Information can also be found in our brochures on this topic.

What materials can I bring for the project and / or host family?

  • Start by checking the baggage that you can take with you on your flight. With many airlines you can take a second piece of checked baggage, but not always!
  • What materials you can take with you, depends on the project and the host family. Some can use school supplies, other clothing and other project related items. We therefore encourage you to consult with us and the partner what is most needed.
