The Ghana Homeopathy project runs a 2 year Certificate Course in Accra. At present we are training 16 students, who will attend 300 hours of lectures and workshops as well as sitting in on clinics and an additional module in anatomy, physiology and pathology. The course was initiated by volunteer Richard Pitt, former Director of the Pacific Academy of Homeopathy, San Francisco, who spent 8 months in Ghana, having just returned to the USA in August 2010. The sudents who wish can continue for a 3rd year to complete a more advanced 500 hour course. We have been able to send experienced homeopaths and teachers from abroad to train the students.

Its a mellow evening in Benin, a good time for reflection on my past 6 months in Ghana. More importantly my homeopathic experience and I can share to hopefully encourage future volunteers to embrace the most friendly and welcoming country I have had the privilege to visit.

Before I left UK in Jan 2009 it was decided that Kumasi (Ghana’s second city) maybe the place for me to concentrate my homeopathic efforts. However I spent the first 4 weeks visiting the other clinics already set up by Mel Dupres and GHP in Accra and Seva.

Then I moved to Kumasi, hosted by the most welcoming family ‘chez Boaten’ plus 1,100 children, who even after 5 months still used me as a human climbing frame! I now know what a female spider feels like carrying her young, not to mentioned having my hair chewed and arms licked just to check on the white flavour – I loved it! The Ghanian children have a very special quality, I dare say if my backpack was not already bursting my fiancee would be a little suprised when meeting me at the airport!

We began working in Kumasi at the request of newly qualified Ghanian homeopath Bonsu Boaten. It was wonderful to find that we could work together and shared the same vision

How we started the clinic

Volunteer homeopath Sara Savage travelled to Kumasi to work with Bonsu, and stayed for 4 months. In Kumasi, Sara conducted clinics at first at Bonsu’s Montessori school and his doctor aunt’s clinic.

In October 2009, Ghana Homeopathy Project, with the help of a £1,000 donation from Sheaf Trust plus £1,000 raised from individual donors, was able to fund a training programme in Ghana. Two Indian homeopathic doctors with 30 years of experience in practice, Dr Kalyan Bhattacharyea and Dr Kalishankar Bhattacharyea, had volunteered to go to Ghana for 1 month to train Ghanian homeopaths . The Indians had been impressed with the Ghanians commitment to homeopathy, when GHP  were able to pay for the airfare for our project apprentice homeopath Emperor to study on a 2 week clinical training programme in India.
