Remote Medical Clinic – Northern Ghana

In 2023 Drs Alistair and Margaret Robertson visited a medical facility in N. Ghana that is 2 hours away from any other medical services. The clinic offered maternity care, some surgery and medical in-patient care as well as outpatients. It was run by a young doctor who had worked with no break for the last 18 months. They were struggling because they did not have a ward for children, meaning that any ill children had to be admitted to the adult ward, where there were often patients sleeping on the floor. Thanks to a generous donation, we have been able to build a simple paediatric ward so that no patients have to sleep on the floor when they are ill.
