Medical Ministry International’s work in Ghana stretches back several decades. Medical Ministry International has taken teams to Ghana on an annual basis, many under the leadership of Dr. Bob Schoffstall and his wife Peggy, until their retirement in 2006.
Medical Ministry International began to support the efforts of Dr. Kofi & Vivian Ghartey and “Sight for Africa” in 2004.
Seth Ephraim Tetteh-Quaye is Medical Ministry International’s Ghana Project Director. He is an Accountant and first participated as a volunteer with Medical Ministry International’s eye project in 2006 in his country under the former country director, Collins Antwi. He served as a member of the staff of our principle partner in Ghana, “Sight for Africa”. According to Collins who is passionate about integrated health education, “sometimes the solution is to talk to the man (or parents) of the house or share information to reduce child labour, school drop outs, infant malaria mortality, diseases, abuse of women, and so on.”
The objective of the vision program is to perform cataract surgery, provide optometry care, conduct screenings, and to educate patients on being independent without their sight.
