Dettagli del programma

Being a midwife volunteer in Ghana is a great way to experience care given to mothers in a developing country.

The hospital is seriously understaffed with roughly 150 births each month, but only a handful of midwives and student nurses to staff the labor ward. The lifetime risk or maternal death is 1 in 18 women in Ghana compared to significantly higher rates in more developed countries.

Care for women in labor is something that is improving but women often still do not receive any antenatal care, often don’t receive any pain killers during their labor, and power cuts in hospitals often interfere with caring for the women.

Pro-active and hardworking volunteers may be rewarded with the opportunity to get involved with routine procedures at the discretion of supervising doctors. You will gain valuable experience in a cross cultural environment to add to your resume/CV.

Attività e turni

As a volunteer midwife in Ghana you will be working in local hospitals shadowing local midwives and working closely with midwife students. During your time in the hospital your timetable will be coordinated by the local doctors who you will be working with to give you the best experience possible.
