Doctor Volunteer Opportunity - MAB Care Clinic

The MAB medicare center is responsible for providing quality health care to the people of Nyamekye and its neighboring communities. The hospital offers a number of services including a general medical ward, maternity and outreach services; health promotion talks to schools, community groups and outreach programs to other communities that do not have a medical center in their area. As a result doctor volunteers would be helpful and very much appreciated in advising on various consultations as well as outreach programs.

MAB medicare center plays an important role in the Ghanaian Health Care System. They provide medical attention to individuals who may not otherwise be able to access health care because they cannot afford to travel to another city or afford the hospital fees. Because the doctors and nurses are frequently seen around the communities, the people feel more comfortable talking to them and are more likely to share their symptoms with the doctors and/or nurses thus helping to make diagnoses and then treatments more effective.

The MAB medicare center is in need of volunteers all year round as the demand for extra assistance is very high. Volunteers who are qualified doctors are needed at this placement because, although the center has professional doctors, there is never enough. The doctors are always very overworked and find it extremely difficult to attend to all the patients that require medical care and/or treatment.

Doctors who are willing to volunteer their time are needed to help relieve some of the workload in: patient care, consultations and public health outreach programs.
