In April 2029, 11 ConvenientMD employees partnered with Vision International Missions of Manchester, NH, to participate in a medical mission trip to Ghana, Africa. ConvenientMD is committed to the health and well-being of communities both locally and globally. Through the ConvenientMD Cares Foundation, the organization sends team members, medical supplies, and resources to areas where access to adequate healthcare is limited.

During the trip, the team spent two days teaching Helping Babies Breathe, an interactive neonatal resuscitation course, to 46 nurses, midwives, and physician assistants. This program equips birth attendants in resource-limited settings to care for both healthy newborns and newborns who are not breathing at birth. While most students were familiar with resuscitation bags, few had received formal training on how or when to use them.

In addition to the training, the team ran medical clinics in two areas of Ghana, serving 206 patients. They provided care, medications, and supplies, as well as essential items such as vitamins, body wash, soap, and toothbrushes.

Dr. Jo Ann Gates, ConvenientMD’s Medical Director and Director of Global Health and International Outreach, led the mission. She reflected on the trip:

Our mission trip to Ghana was blessed in so many ways. During our first 2 days, we taught 46 nurses, midwives, and physician assistants how to resuscitate newborns with the Helping Babies Breathe program. Many students came from clinics up to 11 hours away. On the morning of our second day, one of our students told us that this very morning, she had used the training from day one to revive a limp baby. The students were amazing and skilled, and were very grateful for this training. We were able to donate 8 neonatal mannequin sets, 20 resuscitation bags, and 46 penguin suction bulbs thanks to the ConvenientMD Cares Foundation and Gareth Dickens. The students vowed to take the training back to their own clinics to teach others and practice continually. After the closing ceremonies, I was interviewed about the program on national radio. I hope this will lead to more awareness of the HBB program and more trainings in Ghana. We held medical clinics over the next 2 days – one outside under the cover of trees with chickens roaming around. We saw 206 patients, did over 30 joint injections, and made 16 referrals. Our leftover medications and supplies went to local clinics in need. I could not have done it without my amazing team from ConvenientMD and of course Ken from Vision International Missions.

ConvenientMD extends special thanks to Dr. Jo Gates and Ken Whitten, President of Vision International Missions, for organizing the trip. The organization also thanks the hosts and community members in Ghana for welcoming and supporting the team.
