About

Bangana Medical Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a goal of bringing access to medicine and health education to the people Ghana and Africa as a whole. The goal of the organization is to form a medical institution that will focus on training Africans with first class medical education by making education resources and personnel available to students to strengthen their medical knowledge. This will empower providers to deliver high quality medical care to the people of Africa. Due to lack of educational resources and evidence based medical education, most students graduate with no adequate medical knowledge and are thrown into communities without support from experienced providers. This often leads to iatrogenic caused deaths and other medical complications.

With most health institutions and universities based in big cities, access to medicine in rural areas is very limited. It is our goal to bring medical education and access to high quality healthcare to serve the large number of rural communities in Ghana. Through increased healthcare education, we aim to improve health outcomes and decrease the currently high morbidity and mortality rates in rural Ghana.

We are dedicated to bringing first class medication education through information and technology. We will make online libraries and other resources accessible to students.  We will employ both African and Western professors and clinical educators with first-hand medical experience to train African youth in medical education to become responsible feature leaders. It is our goal to train Africans to take charge and be responsible for the health of the African people. We are committed to teaching students how to recognize and treat acute and critical conditions while providing public health education to the people.

It is our aim to forge a bridge between Western Allopathic medicine and traditional Herbal medicine through research to find solutions to both chronic and acute illnesses around the globe.  For thousands of years our forefathers have used herbs, roots, barks and flowers to treat many simple and complex ailments. They have done surgeries without operating rooms and set bones without X-rays, treat febrile convulsion with simple tincture. Since many Ghanaian healers do not have formal education and cannot write, important medical knowledge, traditionally passed down orally, has been lost. Bangana Medication Foundation will collaborate with traditional healers to learn old ways of medicine that are accessible, affordable or of no cost to the people.
