Lartebiorkorshie, Accra, Ghana (OB-GYN Surgery)

Medical Ministry International’s work in Ghana stretches back several decades. Medical Ministry International began to support the efforts of Dr. Kofi & Vivian Ghartey and Sight for Africa in 2006. This project has the option of 1 or 2-week commitment.

This project seeks to meet the surgical needs several women who may never get the opportunity to be seen by a surgeon. Most hospitals in this region do not have resident gynecologists and surgeries are very expensive, so these projects seek to meet some of these needs and help women within the Lartebiokorshie community.

Participants are expected to fundraise on behalf of Medical Ministry International to help raise the funds necessary to cover the budgeted costs of the Project Teams. These fundraising goal minimums include accommodations, meals, basic medical insurance, and malpractice insurance. Air fare is not included. MD's and RN's require medical license registration in Ghana.

We have implemented rigorous biosafety, patient management, and project team safety protocols in response to COVID-19. Agreement to follow protocols will be required as part of the online application process. Current information regarding COVID-19 will be provided as Medical Ministry International monitors the global impacts of the pandemic.
