Ghana is one of Africa’s friendliest nations and renowned for combining the continent’s best elements in a single location. Politically stable and safe for tourists, Ghana is the place to be for rich, ethnic culture, beautiful biodiversity and fascinating history, attracting more than a million visitors every year.

When you travel to a new place, you’re surrounded by endless sites to see and things to do. With so many experiences to fill your free time, it’s easy to act like a deer in headlights when someone asks, “So, what are you doing this weekend?”

From the moment you step on your flight to the time you arrive home, you should feel safe when you volunteer in Ghana. There should be no doubt that there will be people around to care for and guide you. Volunteer abroad agencies know that you’re in a foreign country with a very different culture from your own.

The hustle and bustle of the Koforidua General Hospital sets the scene for some of the most interesting and fascinating volunteer work done in Ghana. The white tile flooring and fluorescent lights are like many other hospitals around the world––but this is where you could be learning some of the most beneficial skills of your whole medical career.
