We are excited to announce our Ghana Medical Mission dates for Spring 2015  

Mission dates:

May 5 to 30, 2015 (updated travel dates)
(Dates are tentative pending flight availability and airfare costs)

$2500.00 covers lodging, ground transportation,some meals, tours and national park admissions
(Participants cover their own airfare)

Since 2006, over 120 respiratory therapy students, practitioners, other health care providers and community members 
have traveled to Ghana to offer free health clinics, community health education and humanitarian aid.  We also work side by side with health care professionals in small (75-150 bed) rural hospitals and large (1500 bed) teaching hospitals. 

The most recent respiratory advancement in Ghana is the development of respiratory therapy education.  In June of 2014, the University of Ghana approved the development of a bachelor degree program in Respiratory Therapy that will begin August 2015.   A portion of our mission in Ghana will be spent at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital and the University of Ghana in 
support of program development and providing education for physicians and hospital staff.


For more information regarding registration, initial deposit, payment options and any questions you may have,

Group meeting will be held monthly beginning mid January in order to prepare for the trip.  
These meetings will be available via video conference for those who live outside of Utah.
