The next day, Brad and his team of four doctors and a nurse joined with a Ghanaian doctor and three Ghanaian nurses to travel to a medical clinic in Yeji, a small city near Lake Volta.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.touchalifekids.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_0131.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3983\" src=\"https:\/\/www.touchalifekids.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_0131.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0131\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At the clinic in Yeji, the doctors and nurses spent two days treating patients for cases of\u00a0malaria, respiratory illness, high fevers, and muscle pain associated with hard physical labor. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.touchalifekids.org\/story\/team\/\">Touch A Life&#8217;s Ghana Director, Bernard<\/a> traveled with the team, along with Isaac Ayensu who served as translator and photographer, and several other assistants.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.touchalifekids.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_0147.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3984\" src=\"https:\/\/www.touchalifekids.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_0147.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0147\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.touchalifekids.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_9857.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3995\" src=\"https:\/\/www.touchalifekids.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_9857.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9857\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The second and last stop for the medical team was a remote village which is normally accessed by boat. Due to several years of drought in Central Ghana, the water had receded, leaving only a muddy path to access the area. The medical team helped each other carry supplies through two miles of mud that was too deep for vehicles to drive through. When the team arrived at the village, a crowd of over 200 people was waiting to be seen. The village chief gave the doctors and nurses a warm welcome and thanked them for traveling a long way to help his people.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.touchalifekids.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_0175.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3985\" src=\"https:\/\/www.touchalifekids.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_0175.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0175\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.touchalifekids.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_0265.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3987\" src=\"https:\/\/www.touchalifekids.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_0265.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0265\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.touchalifekids.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_0254.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3986\" src=\"https:\/\/www.touchalifekids.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_0254.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0254\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Over a day and a half the team treated as many patients as possible, combing the crowd for the most severe illnesses and wounds.\u00a0Everyone who was seen was tested for malaria, and over 60% of the children tested positive for the mosquito-borne disease. Other patients were treated for fevers, infections and edema, along with burns and lacerations.\u00a0Two young children were diagnosed with cerebral palsy and their parents were given instructions and support on how to care for their special needs. While other patients were waiting to be seen the triage team taught\u00a0everyone\u00a0how to play Duck Duck Goose!
