Medical Placement

Elective Ghana is a Ghanaian base company whose primary aim is to offer students a rare and unforgettable opportunity to get hands-on practical experience in Ghana hospitals. We liaise with students and the hospitals authorities to help organize stress-free medical elective and volunteering placement for medical students, nurses, premedical students, doctors etc. All you need to do if you want to undertake an elective in Ghana is to get in touch with us by an email telling us the date and we will arrange it for you.  Tell us your need or your university requirements and we will provide you with the detail information. We are even able to arrange “emergency elective” for students who may have been disappointed by other hospital or organization or have had their elective cancel for one reason or another and as such have a very limited time period to get their elective organized.
Elective Ghana shoulders the burden of organizing your elective for students at a reduced and affordable rate.
Our choice of Hospitals ranges from Teaching hospitals to District hospitals and Rural clinics.
