Clinicals are in full swing!! We’re all getting unbelievable exposure to Ghanaian medicine in a variety of wards at Afrikids clinic and Amiah’s clinic. Experiences at the clinics thus far include seeing cells sickle under the microscope, providing wound care, participating in the birth of a baby, observing surgery, and learning about Ghanaian medicine verses western medicine. Some nurses have been nice enough to teach us some more Frafra or Farefare, also known as Gurenɛ (the language of the Frafra people of northern Ghana, particularly the Upper East Region) and let us trade our American snacks for Ghanaian snacks as well; yum. Oral hydration and respiratory illness teaching projects went great!! The community was so kind, welcoming, and receptive. We’re looking forward to more exciting adventures to come!
