Medics Without Borders

About Us

Adomako Adjapong, Founder

Medics Without Borders, Ghana is the brain child of a someone who wants to help the sick and the poor get access to affordable medical services and products. In developing countries such as Ghana where access to EMS programs is inadequate or virtually absent in some communities, many people die prematurely in their homes or remote villages due to lack of access to pre-hospital and preventive medical care services and programs. The founder of MWB was born and raised in Ghana and he had first hand experience of what lack of adequate preventive and pre-hospital medical care can do to humans. According to his assessment, many lives can be saved if emergency medical services (EMS) and technology can be deployed to the people who live in rural and poor parts of Ghana. Millions of dollars devoted to curing diseases can also be saved annually if more attention is paid to preventive medicine.
