Well, I'm in my final stages of packing and spazzing out as I have only 1more day before I leave on the mission. So far the experience has been somewhat crazy as the Ghana Embassy and the other group we are going with from Sinai Hospital (Neuro-Spine Research Organization)are not that well organized- thank goodness I am heading the organization for the Hopkins team!! As anyone who really knows me can tell you, I am more than hyper when it comes to planning trips (binder anyone?) so this aspect has frustrated me a little! From what I hear, this is pretty typical for Ghana so I should expect a slower, less organized way of life and work when I get over there - should be interesting!! I will be in 3 different areas, which I have tried to point out on the map included. Below is a little more detail of the locations.
Accra, Ghana
Latitude (DMS): 5°30' North
Longitude (DMS): 0°10' West
Kumasi, Ghana
Latitude (DMS): 6.7° North
Longitude (DMS): 1.6° West
Daboase, Ghana
Latitude (DMS): 5° 7' 60 North
Longitude (DMS): 1° 38' 60 West
The Three hospitals:
1. Accra is the capital of Ghana. Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital is the major hospital.
2. Asokore Hospital, near Kumasi (the city you’ll find on the map)
3. Daboase Hospital, the most remote facility.
