This internship is perfect for anyone interested in gaining work experience in midwifery and working with local professionals to make health care accessible to the poor.

    Our healthcare placements offer an exceptional learning opportunity, in addition to a gratifying volunteer experience. These placements offer an international learning ground where you can not only view healthcare in practice but effects of volunteering abroad in healthcare are plain to see. Medical care is a basic human right, and making it accessible for all is essential. The hospitals and clinics that we work with are striving to fulfil that need, and can always benefit from an extra pair of hands. Working on our health projects offers a wonderful opportunity for volunteers to become familiar with the challenges and health issues of developing countries. All our hospitals and clinics are government approved. 

    The type of work you will be allocated will depend to an extent on your own abilities and capabilities, which is understandable given that you will be dealing with patient health and safety. You can help with consultations, delivering babies and outpatient care. This project is open to anyone who wants to help improve the lives of the underprivileged in Africa.

    As a volunteer you are required to bring your own hospital scrubs or you can buy the scrubs for $10 at the hospital. You are also required to undertake yellow fever vaccination to be able to enter into Ghana and to able to work in the hospital.
