Volunteer Medical Staff
We also encourage Healthcare Professionals – mainly doctors and nurses – to volunteer at Mampong Government Hospital and with the District Health Service. This gives them an opportunity to learn from dealing with conditions that they would not usually come across, experience the challenges of delivering healthcare in a relatively resource-poor setting as well as sharing their skills with the staff in Ghana.
Volunteers live in our volunteers’ accommodation in Gyetiase, a safe, well supported environment which they have found hugely rewarding.
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Training
With the support of donors and volunteers, Ashanti Development is helping to deliver a sustainable CPR training programme. The training is provided to medical and nursing staff from Mampong Government Hospital and the District Health Service, as well as members of the local ambulance, fire, and police services. This programme strengthens emergency response across the region and helps save lives.
