Today 3 of us went to the HIV clinic today. We spent the morning in the pharmacy learning about the drug combinations, how they dose, and how the structure in the clinic works. We followed a pharmacist around and watched the interactions with patients. Next we went to the consultation room and spoke with a nurse about the basics of HIV and the stigma in Ghana. Also got to watch some of the interactions with patients. We spent a few hours in the afternoon with the head doctor who is also the regional director of HIV, leading researcher, and Ghana head for STIs. We went to speak with the nutrionist and had all of our questions answered.
It was a really cool experience and not something I would normally get to do on rotation at home.
Spent the afternoon doing a workout and relaxing until the BBQ with the house. Had great food and tons of dancing lead by Alhassan who works for Work the World. The dancing was more like African Zumba but pretty fun.
We head out for our 6 hour bus ride to the funeral in Kumasi tomorrow at 7 am.
Goat, chicken, curry rice, salad, African spicy sauce, and fish spring rolls
