The 21 UNE students and faculty participating in the Ghana trip this summer comprised an interprofessional group of physicians, physician assistants, pharmacists, nurses, physical therapists and dental hygienists, as well as undergraduate medical biology students.

UNE volunteers gathered 225 pounds of medical supplies donated by Portland-based Partners for World Health, which the team used and distributed at the health mission in Sekondi.
