Eva Ghana Wild: Public Health in Ghana
http://evaghanawild.blogspot.com/2010/07/public-health-in-ghana.html
Sunday, July 25, 2010. Public Health in Ghana. As Dr Howard Koh. In Ghana, public health appears to have a much greater and more coordinated role with medical institutions. The Ghana Health Services (GHS). As an aside, I am convinced that this course that was borrowed from the US was in fact borrowed from IHI. So, can public health and the GHS’s role in Ghana be redesigned to better meet the country’s need? August 18, 2010 at 9:19 AM. January 24, 2011 at 3:02 AM. July 20, 2011 at 6:24 AM.

Eva Ghana Wild: Hustling: Providing Sustainable Aid
http://evaghanawild.blogspot.com/2010/08/hustling-providing-sustainable-aid.html
Thursday, August 12, 2010. Hustling: Providing Sustainable Aid. NGO signs outside Nabisco Estate in Tamale. One of the most common questions and comments I have received from my interactions with the district hospitals falls into a category I'd like to call, "What can you give me? What do these hospitals get in return for allowing me to freely wander around, stepping into the shoes of the management team and frontline staff? Health education workshop at Abono Primary School. Although my research project ...

Tuesday, August 10, 2010. Project Fives Alive: Two Days of Energizing Inspiration. In typical last-minute Eva fashion, two years ago, I decided to defer from medical school for a year to work at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI). IHI has three developing countries programs. Ghana, South Africa, and Malawi. In Ghana, Project Fives Alive. A partnership with the National Catholic Health Service (NCHS) and Ghana Health Service (GHS) is working towards reducing under five mortality through qualit...

Eva Ghana Wild: Ghana Black Stars
http://evaghanawild.blogspot.com/2010/06/ghana-black-stars.html
Friday, June 18, 2010. If my time in Ghana teaches me nothing about maternal mortality, I will at least have left with a better understanding and much greater appreciation for soccer/football. Thank you Bryant for the best quick soccer synopsis (posted as a comment). I've officially caught World Cup Fever and can't wait to join all of Ghana tomorrow to cheer them on in game 2 against Australia. So, what's it like watching the World Cup in Ghana? That last ref call was totally wrong! He should walk home w...

Monday, October 11, 2010. A Ghanaian Party in Michigan with the KNUST Exchange Students. Tro-tro station to catch a tro-tro to a district hospital. My days are arguably now much less exciting. The luxuries of hot water, 24/7 internet, and my car don't make up for the fact that I now spend most of my time rooted in one position in my apartment studying. With this dull routine to look forward to, it's not hard to imagine that my transition from Ghana back to the US was.traumatic. Music However, whenever I ...

Tuesday, June 14, 2011. Ghc2011: Global Health Council Conference 2011. I have been given the great opportunity to present my research on maternal mortality in Ghana at the Global Health Council's annual conference in Washington DC. I'm so lucky to be in the midst of some of the greatest thinkers and influential leaders in the global health community. While I may be sleep deprived from third year med school clerkships, I'm fully prepared to be inspired and overwhelmed in the next few days!

http://evaghanawild.blogspot.com/2010/08/currying-favor-with-ghanaians.html
Wednesday, August 11, 2010. Currying Favor with Ghanaians.

Ghanaians are generally very friendly so, getting a smile out of them is relatively easy and it's very difficult to make them angry. But, how do you really get on the good side of Ghanaians? Here are a few things that I've noticed that will make Ghanaians very excited:. Very interesting ...
