Veterinary in Ghana

In Ghana , Teaching & Projects Abroad works in city clinics. In the mornings this involves dealing with pets. There are plenty of pets such as dogs and cats, but many of the patients are small back-garden livestock such as goats and chickens.

In the afternoon there are sometimes great opportunities to go out into the field to visit farms or even Accra Zoo. You will be involved in administering vaccinations, observing and assisting in operations, laboratory work, post mortems and routine treatments.

"Although I had little experience, I was lucky and surprised at what I was allowed to do..I helped to castrate pigs and vaccinate dogs. "
Timothy Adams

The vets are keen to get you as involved as possible, and will enjoy showing you African veterinary practice.
