I began my internship in the paediatric ward where my trainee doctor took his time and explained every patiently to me. This way I got an insight into in numerous different departments and gained a considerable amount of medical experience. I was assigned to different departments and spent one week each in paediatrics, gynaecology, emergency as well as the neonatal intensive care unit. Therefore, it took some time to get used to the system and know which one to take.ĭuring my time at the hospital, I saw and learned a lot. My first time taking a Trotro was very confusing due to the fact that the conductor isn’t shouting out the destination clearly. While there are Trotro stations indicated by a group of people standing next to the road, these vehicles can be boarded anywhere along the route. They are the most popular means of public transportation in Ghana. Trotros, in comparison, are privately owned minibuses that travel fixed routes. The latter is a cheap taxi company which is unlikely to fleece you. My colleagues and I either took a Trotro or a Bolt. The location is quite far from the student house I lived in. The hospital comprises eight departments: gynaecology, labour ward, emergency room, surgery, paediatrics, psychology, intensive care unit and neonatal intensive care unit. It has a capacity of 420 beds and a staff of 654. Ridge Hospital, also called Greater Accra Regional Hospital, is a major hospital located in Osu Accra, Ghana. My internship took place in Ridge Hospital. I lived in a student house with other Germans who were working in Ghana, as well as locals who were helping us with everything. In July 2022, I had the amazing opportunity to do a four-week internship in Accra, Ghana.
