Midwifery Internships in Ghana - Takoradi Testimonials

The varied placement areas and huge differences to home meant we were never short of stories to tell

My experience was eye opening, enlightening and empowering. I changed in myself and I couldn't be more thankful

I was very fortunate to be in a house with some wonderful people. It really helps to talk about your stories and experiences on placement

I loved my time in Ghana.

Pain relief in labour is rare and only used when a woman brings it to hospital with her, it is common however for woman to rely on religion as a focus during pain; it is not uncommon to hear a woman praying to Jesus for help.

The midwife I spent most of my time with was very special; I find it difficult to put it into words.

At around 10pm the power cut and despite being told there was a lantern, it had no batteries. The baby was born by the light of the torches on our phones!

The strength of Ghanaian women is inspirational. Not only do they click their way through contractions but manage to walk between two rooms in order to bring their newborn to this world.
