Testimonials

"As the weeks went by, we saw some emergencies but no one seemed to be in much of a rush. The idea of urgency wasn’t the same as it is in the Netherlands."

"They didn’t give oxygen as quickly as we would, so the first five minutes after birth always felt more like half an hour."

"The staff in general were relaxed in their approach to most things. Even if there was an emergency, you would see staff walking over in no particular rush."

"Adding the village healthcare week onto my placement really helped me have a better understanding of the whole Ghanaian healthcare system and actually just the Ghanian culture."

"A man came in quite poorly. He was really delirious and obviously needed oxygen. But the family couldn’t afford it, so he didn’t get it."
