Medical Electives in Ghana - Takoradi Reviews

Exposure to Ghanaian healthcare gave me the chance to see how some tropical diseases are managed

Ghana was a good choice for me as it is labelled as the ‘gateway to Africa’, and I wanted somewhere safe and friendly for my trip to the continent"

Witnessing Ghanaian healthcare has been both challenging yet amazing at the same time

These clinics have a huge impact on the healthcare of those who are too poor to even afford transport out of their villages

I can really say that my trip with Work the World was a fantastic, once in a life time experience! I learned a lot of things that I could never have learned in Germany

The people I met, the things I saw the experience I gained would have not been possible without Work the World

I got some really excellent experience & teaching from the head surgeon, who treated ward rounds and theatre sessions almost as tutorials

I estimated the cost of arranging everything myself, but Work the World compared VERY favourably, and the stress they saved me was well worth the extra few pounds!

My placement was in Accident and Emergency for 3 weeks, which was an unbelievable experience. My supervisor was phenomenal - an amazing teacher. I saw many things I will never forget, and which have forever left an impact on the way I will practice medicine in the future, both at home and abroad.

Like with any rotation you get out what you put in and I recommend making the most of it!
