The Ghana Medical Help Vision

Health is a basic human right.

Equip. Educate. Empower.

These are the three tenets of Ghana Medical Help. We are a 100% volunteer run Canadian charity with one goal: to support locally driven, needs-based projects that sustainably advance health equity and improve health in under-resourced communities in Ghana and beyond. Although our projects are based in Ghana, our vision is to create sustainable global health solutions that can be implemented on an international scale.

GMH’s newest ground-breaking initiative is poised to strengthen maternal and newborn care in northern Ghana.

Our Ghanaian Footprint

GMH works in northern Ghana, focusing on the Upper East and Upper West Regions, where access to healthcare, clean water, food, education and basic infrastructure is severely limited. Our projects help over two million people overcome these challenges. While this rural health disparity exists in many parts of the world, Ghana’s political stability makes it an ideal place for developing sustainable global healthcare solutions.

GMH projects are spread across multiple healthcare facilities in Ghana’s Upper West and Upper East Regions.

Why Choose GMH?

GMH focuses on creating sustainable, research-driven solutions tailored to the unique needs of each community.

By partnering with local healthcare providers and community leaders, GMH designs and implements programs that are continuously monitored and adapted. This approach fosters local ownership and ensures that the interventions fit the local context and needs. Over time, these programs become self-sustaining, overcoming the common challenges faced by many international aid efforts.

As a volunteer-run organization with minimal administrative costs, every donation goes directly to where it’s needed most, maximizing the impact of your support.
