Description
The goal of this design project is to diminish the barrier of transportation to secondary and tertiary healthcare facilities and services by developing and constructing a portable gynecological examination table for use by community healthcare and planning services workers in Ghana.
This summer in Kenya I learned so much about myself as well as other cultures, and I gained experiences that will last with me forever. Getting to do things I had never experienced before has opened my eyes and my heart in many ways, and I will continue to grow from these experiences.
