"I completed my 6-week medical elective in Ghana through the Ghana Xchange Volunteers Organization, and it was an unforgettable experience. I stayed with Theresah and her family, who were incredibly welcoming and made me feel at home from the moment I arrived. The accommodation was clean and well-maintained, conveniently located close to the health facility where I undertook my placement.
The elective itself was eye-opening and enriching. Under Theresah’s guidance, we not only participated in clinical work but also organized a malaria outreach programme that we had fundraised for prior to the visit. This gave me valuable hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of public health in a different context.
Theresah is an inspiring and resourceful leader—always approachable, full of innovative ideas, and consistently available to support us.
Overall, my elective exceeded all expectations, and I returned with invaluable memories and insights that will stay with me throughout my medical career."
