The volunteer will assist to provide prenatal care, conducting examinations to ensure pregnancies are progressing normally. They counsel pregnant women about nutrition and recommend prenatal vitamins as appropriate. They counsel women or pregnant women to always give birth at the hospital rather than giving birth at home. If complications will arise, they may make referrals to other hospitals that have obstetricians specializing in high-risk pregnancies.
Since it is a community based clinic the Nurse midwives sometimes attend to births in homes. They also provide physical and emotional support during labor as well. As needed, they perform episiotomies and administer medications before, during and after delivery.

Our health care centers also run different programs on health education, basic prevention, nutrition and sanitation. Health Volunteer job also cover these areas as many hospitals also work in coordination with the local communities, presenting different programs on health education, basic prevention, nutrition, and sanitation.
projects offer a wonderful opportunity for volunteers and students to be acquainted with the existing health issues and challenges of delivering health care in developing country like Ghana. Volunteers will definitely gain valuable insight into Ghana culture and will have the opportunity to improve on skills in a variety of areas in health care.
