Here I am a month later, after I came back from BMC in Nalerigu,Ghana.Although the memories are getting blurried ,is worth to share this amazing experience for any Physician who wants to serve abroad in undeserved comunities.As a family physician is amazing the exposure of different conditions,morbidities along all the ages , you will be able to see, a great load of outpatients, evaluate and treat inpatiens from an ectopic pregnancy,through an inpatient with active TB, or a kid with lymphoma , as well as all kind of stages of Malaria, patients with typhoid and complications like a bowel perforation,trough performing a Lumbar puncture to diagnose meningitis .Even more if you want to be actively involved on deliveries,cesareans and other surgical procedures, will be a attosnishing, the experience. You will be force to read your patients X-Rays, as do ultrasound and try to do your best.
It is really an enrich and , encourage experience the fact of lack advance t echnology, as not available all type of specialties near this health setting force you learn ,look for solutions available at this site.
