Personal Health
Do not come expecting to get sick. Likewise, you should not do away with all caution and just expect God to take care of you. We feel that God gave us brains for a reason and one should take reasonable precautions. Except for an occasional bout of diarrhea or malaria, most of our volunteers stay healthy.
In most instances satisfactory medical care is available in Ghana, and your hosts will be able to help you if you develop a medical problem. Medical care in government hospitals varies from time to time, depending upon the doctor(s) located there. There are a large number of very capable Ghanaian doctors who run private clinics (note that this applies only to whatever time you spend in the cities; while you are in Nalerigu you would be cared for by the missionary doctors).
Bring with you a supply of any medication you usually take. See What to Bring
