Support IVU's Work in Ghana this Fall

You can help make quality surgical care more accessible in Ghana. Our team is working with our partners in Kumasi to serve people in need of life-changing care while training the local providers. Your support will help the community for years to come.  

The team leaves for Ghana in late November and consists of Drs. Ben Davies, Keith Kowalczyk, Belen Mora, Katie Marchetti, and Oluwaseun Orikogbo.

International Volunteers in Urology (IVU or IVUmed) is dedicated to making quality urological care available worldwide. We provide medical and surgical training to local doctors and nurses and care to thousands of children and adults in underserved communities worldwide.

Since 1995, IVU has partnered with teaching hospitals in Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean to equip local doctors and nurses with the skills they need to serve their communities. Specialized urologic care is extremely limited in low-resource areas of the world. IVU organizes surgical workshops led by experts in their fields, such as pediatric and reconstructive urology, women’s health, and oncology, who volunteer their time and funds to train their host colleagues and serve hundreds of children and adults each year.
