After 3 long years, we are finally resuming our Global Health Practicum in Northern Ghana. The Covid19 pandemic has pushed healthcare systems to their breaking point and it has not been easy on our partners in Ghana. It will be good to reconnect and continue doing our good work together.
Our group this year is small but mighty! 5 students and 1 alumni. They've all taken a Global Health course, an Advanced Global Health Elective, have spent an intensive week in seminars to prepare them for the local context, and have packed the supplies we'll be bringing with us.
I invite you to follow along on our journey. It can be a difficult one, and sometimes it helps to know our loved ones back home are paying attention.
