University Hospital

Here are a few photos of the maternity and pediatric wards at University Hospital, where I have been volunteering for the semester. Not that it needs too much explanation, but it is worth mentioning that this hospital is enormously better than many others in Ghana. Doctors and nurses have to work with whatever they have in terms of supplies and technologies, and when they don't have it, sometimes the patient suffers. I have found that everything seems to be a little more natural here, they don't have all the expensive and extravagant ways of keeping people alive like they do in the US. Spending time here has been an adventure in many ways and has taught me a lot about what it means to be human.
