Biomedical Science Electives in Ghana Takoradi Reviews

"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".

"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."

"The baby started coming down and as it did, the local midwife started to pull the baby out - something we would never do at home during a normal birth."

"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."
