Ghana medical relief

I’m thrilled to announce that in July 2024, I am embarking on an unforgettable journey to Ghana, where I’ll be joining the Ghana Medical Relief Team (GMR) to spend a week volunteering and delivering vital healthcare services to underserved villages. While working in tandem with the GMR, I will strive to bridge the gap and provide Ghanaian citizens with access to essential medical care that is currently inaccessible to them. This includes life-changing treatment that has the power to transform their lives and bring hope to their hearts. By illuminating a path of healing that offers Ghanaians the prospect of reshaping their reality, every donation helps them achieve a healthy and fulfilling life!

The GMR operates as a non-profit humanitarian organization, committed to delivering healthcare to remote villages in Ghana. Our vision involves creating a cohesive healthcare network in Ghana, both domestically & internationally, that is tailored to the unique needs of its communities. The GMR works hand in hand with hospitals, churches, and organizations in the US/Canada to procure donated medical supplies and equipment for hospitals and clinics in Ghana. GMR is equipped to address diverse healthcare needs with a team composed of professionals specializing in various healthcare disciplines, such as General Medicine, Pediatrics, CPR Training, Dental, Urology, OB/GYN, Otolaryngology (ENT), General Surgery, Ophthalmology, Pharmacy, Wound Care, Mental Health, and Health Education. GMR is on the precipice of implementing sustainable health care models and evidence-based medicine programs throughout Ghana, and every donation brings us one step closer to achieving this objective.

As a proud Ghanaian, born and raised for the first 18 years of my life, I am fortunate and extremely honoured to embark on this journey with GMR. Serving others and giving back to those in need has always been my passion, and this volunteering opportunity promises to be deeply fulfilling. It's been a long-standing aspiration of mine to participate in such a meaningful cause, and I invite you to join me by donating to this worthy endeavor. Your generosity will not only support our immediate mission but will also pave the way for future annual collaborations with GMR.

In the spirit of giving, I urge you to contribute what you can, remembering that true giving comes from the heart, not from obligation.

Thank you for your support!

This summer, we (Emily & Samuel) will be volunteering with the Ghana Medical Relief (GMR) which provides free healthcare to underprivileged citizens in different villages in Ghana.

In the United States, although our healthcare is often expensive, it is typically accessible while other countries might not be as fortunate. GMR has professionals who specialize in different types of healthcare (medical and dental), as well as other volunteers who seek opportunities in project management, photography, communications, and more (check out the website! https://www.ghanamedicalrelief.com/# ). This July, we are fortunate to be joining them as they travel to the village of Tamale in the northern part of Ghana, West Africa.

We would be grateful if you could join us in raising money to help this worthy cause. Here you can donate as little as $10 which will contribute to the cause. This means so much to us as we have had the opportunity to visit our dad's village in Ghana and see the dire need for healthcare we’d truly be thankful for your donations. Thank you!

My name is Julie Parker; I am a Registered Nurse and formerly worked at Mount Nittany Medical Center on the Women and Children's Unit in State College, PA. While there, I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Dr. Owusu, President of Ghana Medical Relief. Three years ago, I first volunteered with Ghana Medical Relief, where I served with over 60 other volunteers during their annual medical missions to Ghana, West Africa.  Unfortunately, the trip in 2020 was canceled, but the organization was proud to make the trip in 2021 and ready to head back in just a few weeks at the end of July.  

Now in existence since 2011, Ghana Medical Relief, a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization (EIN #27-4066550), has historically donated medical equipment and supplies to hospitals and clinics in Ghana.  In the last three years, they have expanded their program to serve people directly - they have served over 8500 patients during their medical missions. Together we will hold a comprehensive clinic to provide services in the following areas of specialization: Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Urology, Dentistry, General Surgery, and a Pharmacy, where we provide free medications.  These missions are exciting and rewarding for all involved - for additional information about the organization and upcoming events, please visit the website at http://www.ghanamedicalrelief.com. The website will allow you to experience firsthand the pride we take in supporting this cause.

Our mission is to provide free healthcare services at an underprivileged village in Ghana.  Last year in Atibie, we served over 3500, and we were also able to provide CPR training at a local nursing school. The above picture is of a boy name Abrahm. When he came to us, he was severely malnourished. We helped get him admitted for inpatient treatment and provided support and resources for his family to have what they needed to continue improving his health.

You can donate to me directly here. Since GMR is a federally registered 591(c), all donations made directly to them are tax deductible. A receipt will be sent to you via email immediately after donation.  If you prefer to make a tax deductible donation direct to GMR you can follow the link below...please include my name with donation.

You can also Venmo or PayPal me.  

Thank you in advance for your help and consideration!

Kindly,

Julie Parker

In underprivileged communities across Ghana, thousands face life-threatening illnesses without access to basic medical care—no clinics, no doctors, and no medicine in sight. Even if it wasn't recent, many of us can recall a trip to the doctor's office. Maybe as a child receiving vaccines, or as an adult, receiving a diagnosis that brought relief, concern, or clarity—either way, we knew help was within reach. For many individuals in communities like these, that isn't the case, or even close to it.

My name is Emily Naykene, the 15-year-old daughter of a healthcare professional. My father, a man born and raised in Ghana, instilled in me the same passion for healthcare he holds himself. In July 2023, I had the privilege of joining a mission organized by the Ghana Medical Relief (GMR) in Tamale, the Northern region of Ghana. It was an experience that opened my eyes to both the immense need and the incredible impact that compassionate healthcare can have. I'll never forget the woman I met two years ago. She was one of the first patients in the dentist's office, complaining of a small toothache and pain in her hip, hoping only for some pain meds and to send her back on her way so she could work and provide for her children. Little did she know, her condition required a tooth extraction, and the small pain she complained about in her hip was due to a life-threatening condition.

This medical mission trip wasn’t just a volunteer effort; it was a lifeline for people who have been overlooked for far too long. Without the work of Ghana Medical Relief, that woman may not have lived to be the mother her children needed, or the community member that consistently gave back. Her story is just one of many—proof that even the smallest efforts can lead to a life-saving impact. The efforts that the healthcare professionals affiliated with Ghana Medical Relief make are life-changing. From pharmaceuticals to pediatric care to dire surgeries, this organization provides comprehensive, compassionate medical support to those who would otherwise go without. I plan on joining this phenomenal group again this summer, to Berekum, in the Brong Ahafo region of Ghana, but that would only be possible with the help of people like you!

If you're able, please consider donating. All donations go straight to the Ghana Medical Relief. Your contribution could be the reason someone else gets a second chance. Thank you. Please check the link for more information! Ghana Medical Relief Website

My name is Michael Johnson, I am a Pharmacy Technician by profession. As a Pharmacy Technician, I am dedicated to improving patient care both in my profession and through volunteer work. As an active member of Ghana Medical Relief, I assist in providing essential medication and healthcare support to those in need across Ghana's rural communities.

Ghana Medical Relief (GMR) is a U.S. based 501(c) nonprofit humanitarian organization committed to transforming healthcare delivery in Ghana’s most vulnerable communities. Through strategic partnerships with hospitals, churches, and organizations across the United States, GMR acquires and distributes life saving medical supplies and equipment to under resourced hospitals and clinics, ensuring they have the tools needed to provide quality care. Since its inception, GMR has made a tangible difference by donating critical medical resources, including hospital beds, ultrasound machines, examination tables, cardiac defibrillators, advanced operating room equipment, and essential medications. Beyond material support, GMR organizes annual healthcare missions in rural Ghana, where volunteer medical teams provide comprehensive services such as general medicine, urology, dentistry, obstetrics & gynecology, ear & throat care, pediatrics, and general surgery directly to villagers who lack access to basic healthcare. Understanding that healthcare extends beyond temporary treatment, GMR goes a step further by purchasing medical insurance for those in need, enabling long-term follow-up care and consistent medication refills, a lifeline for patients managing chronic conditions. Additionally, each mission includes hands-on CPR training, empowering local community members with life-saving skills and providing certifications to enhance emergency response capabilities. Driven by compassion and collaboration, GMR brings together a diverse team of healthcare professionals, educators, engineers, lawyers, and dedicated volunteers, all united by a common purpose to bridge healthcare gaps, promote wellness, and create sustainable change for the people of Ghana. Through innovation, education, and direct intervention, GMR continues to build a healthier future one community at a time.
