Meet Inglyand Anderson, who recently participated in CFHI’s Global Health in Accra, Ghana program!

She shares, “My experience with CFHI was nothing short of amazing! There was something new that I could learn every day, from asthma clinics, neuro clinics, and just regular OPD. Being able to be immersed in this experience while having the independence to explore the city and learn more about myself was life-changing. This experience really changed my life for the better, and I am so happy I met so many great people. I plan to continue to build on the friendships I have made. CFHI is the absolute best, and I HIGHLY recommend this program!”
