Medical Internships in Ghana - Takoradi Testimonials

"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."

"It has always been a dream of mine to travel to Africa and experience their culture and traditions."

"The available resources and the overall environment were vastly different."

"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."

"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."

"A lack of modern technology and a scarcity of resources separated their standard of care from ours."

"The experience gave me more passion to do the best I could for the patients I came across."
