GENEESKUNDE STAGE En Ghana - Takoradi Reviews

"I spent two weeks in A&E. It was so eye-opening in terms of approaches to healthcare in a low-resource setting".

"The teams’ medical knowledge was amazing. It was the lack of resources, access to healthcare and cost which made the healthcare system in Ghana so different".

"My motto is that you only regret the things you don’t do in life. If you’re thinking about going on a placement like this, that is what I would say to you."

"I saw a lot of cases of malnutrition and malaria while I was on those wards, which you definitely don’t see in Belgium."

"There was another case which had both an unusual presentation and resourceful management."

"I feel this is something that will definitely improve my clinical practice in the UK."

"I learnt a lot about medicine but also about myself."

"Amputations for diabetes weren’t uncommon. One patient had bilateral, dry gangrene of both feet."

"Now, a year later, I still often think back on my time in Ghana and I know for certain I will go back."

"Get Work the World to plan your placement and it will be an adventure you will never forget."
