This is good idea to carrying Afro Americans to work in Africa to improve our health systems Congratulations to you Americans We need this technicians in all sectors
Dear Ama, the right time may be now. No, don't rush, but don't let fear freeze you in place or hold you in 'eternal' suspense as some of us have done and regretted.
Mostly everything I have seen in Ghana is State of Art, and you have them sitting where ever they are and concluded every African Nation has nothing, except Poverty. I hope they are watching. Keep moving Ghana.
every African Nation has nothing? Lol. You should research more and not depend on the media to tell you. But Ghana is among the few really working on improving.
@@joelGi U misunderstood what Jacques meant. Jacques was referring to the perception of the west that African nations have nothing but only poverty. Jacques wasn't comparing Ghana to other African nations at all.
@@dee2ttown They are new facilities under construction and have no names yet. They are being built by two diasporans of Ghanaian birth or origin; one from Canada and the other from Germany.
Yes again and again Vanessa’s interviews are excellent. You ask the right questions. Those of us healthcare professionals love this. Modern healthcare in Ghana brings a sense of safety. You know you will get adequate medical attention when need arises.
There are more first class healthcare facilities spread all over the country...I was really impressed at Asafo-Boakye Clinic in Kumasi...First class everything...
I am so overjoyed that there are such facilities in Ghana providing quality health care to it's citizens. So proud of those who have returned to raise the standards of healthcare, everyone deserves excellent heath care.
C'est vraiment un problème la prise en charge des maladies mentales dans le continent...Sorry I'm a french speaking it's a big problem in all Africa...
This... AMAZING!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾💕 I've recently graduated as a pediatric nurse practitioner (PNP), doctor of nursing practice (DNP) and have a passion for international mission. However, I would love to have my own practice where I can treat pediatric patients and also volunteer in rural/urban communities as a health care provider. I absolutely love the idea of successful WOMEN of COLOR RUNNING things on the continent, offering unique and highly specialized services (an ambulatory clinic), and giving exceptional care!! It was also encouraging to see an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) from the US in Ghana and able to be a trailblazer for APRNs. I'm SOOOOO encouraged and inspired! 🥰 If I don't join you all one day, maybe I can do something similar in another country on the continent!!😉 Blessings!!🙏🏽💖
@@lydian5762 thank you for your kind words!! I'll most definitely keep this on the radar and look up Rwanda as a possibility. I know of several people who've either lived there or are from there and I hear it's not only a beautiful country, but there's a lot of change going on, especially in tech. Again, thanks so much for this!!💕🙏🏽
@Julie I wasn't sure if I would see other providers besides MD's in the video but Im soo happy they are there! Im a 1st generation Ghanaian taking my science prerequisites in order to enroll in nursing school. Best wishes for you!!
Thank you Vaness for what you're doing for motherland...200, thousend subscribers by the end of this year...God Ghana.. God bless Mama Africa 🇬🇭🇲🇼🇬🇭🇲🇼🇬🇭🇲🇼
@@abbassaquee286 expatriates doesn't Means you are rich. if I did not go Los Angeles and other 27 States in the U.S. London and canada, I have no ideas about homeless people on the streets. change your mindset
Vanessa, an amazing interview. I say you and Wode are the Ying and Yang - very complimentary of each others work especially on Lucca health. keep it up!
I just discovered your channel and I have been binge watching these videos. I subscribed. When timing is right I will be relocating to mama Africa. Very proud of your work
Maryland, USA definitely has a healthy Ghanaian presence especially in the healthcare sector. So pleased the professionals decided to return and use their talents and expertise to help. The facility is beautiful and Vanessa you are continuing to grow in your journalism skills. Keep up the good work. I’m a 27 year veteran nurse in the Maryland area and my plan is to repatriate 2021. Just looking for the perfect fit for me.
As an African American physician (family medicine trained hospitalist/urgent care), I am very happy to see this level of sub-specialist care being available in Ghana (and into the greater continent over time). While this is a significant step in the right direction from a medical care standpoint, I would be very cautious for Ghana or any other African country to follow the same path of the American medical system. They need only to look at the bloated costs, red tape, and inverted leadership (executive/administrative driven vs. patient-doctor driven) set up of our system to see the significant pitfalls. I would issue a very strong level of caution from the infrastructure side going into the future so that the African people do not follow the same fate of the average American who goes into life altering debt just trying to pay off medical bills. As long as this pitfall can be avoided, I believe this is an awesome step in the right direction.
I think professionals of different fields can apply for jobs directly as they're offering tip-top services....so it's not just about starting a business to grow in Ghana. Thanks Vanessa.
Wow I am Really impressed. I am surgical Assistent from Germany and I am currently in ghana for my maternity leave. Since I am looking for theatre nursing jobs in Ghana, this is one of the hospitals I’ll definitely check out. Thanks for your input Vanessa
Thank you so much Vanessa for this video❤️❤️. As a healthcare professional myself, I’m so glad to see such facilities on the uprise and bridging the healthcare disparity gap in Ghana. I hope to one day come back home and start my own practice as well. Quick question: do they offer externship or residency programs for new healthcare grads?
Vanessa, well done! This is a concept that I have envisaged as a health care provision for Ghana because of the long cues at the Out patients department, when I worked there over 40 years ago. I am impressed that Lucca Care is providing this long awaited for system of care to the ailing population in Ghana. We need more of this not only in Ghana but around the whole World. The waiting time is unacceptable. One should be seen more quickly when confronted with health issue.
*I love when ppl leave educate themselves but actual return to build there country!* I personally feel like a lot of "third word" country could be better if citizens were patriotic yk..
Vanessa Kanbi i think you’re doing an excellent job on your UA-cam channel. The format, the subject, the presentation and the technical aspects are all very good. I don’t know if you will attract all kind of followers but your channel is different and good. I wish you a lot of success in your endeavor.
Actually healthcare has halted my move to Ghana I've seen that health care us difficult so I'll stay here and fight considering I have rare diagnosis so I'm so I'm glad you did this video I so wish I could move and travel
More of a reason to move back to Ghana. I haven’t been there since I was 9 years old and now I’m 33. Time to leave the US. I just need to find an accounting/CPA job before moving 😩😩😩
Weldone, Vanessa. This is a perfect example that shows opportunities for Africans living outside. The African continent. IT,s good experience for yourself while giving back to Africa.
There is also a branch of a New York hospital called Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) in Ghana that specializes in orthopedic surgery. You should visit them as well.
Thanks for sharing many of our people need good health care especially African Americans coming with so many illnesses, poor western diet. I needed to see this video.
Yeah it is true staying in the hospital for more days is dangerous because you are exposed to nosocomial infection which will cost more money for the patient
I don’t think the US government covers Medicare outside of the US, can you check and confirm Anyway LuccaHealth accept UnitedHealth Care Aetna MetLife GeoBlue (blue cross blue shield) I believe those are US based health plans?
Thanks for the information help us to know upgraded medical care centers in the country for the citizens that have been out of the country for many years and want to retire @ home
Hello I want to ask some questions about about working and living in Ghana please, I am an obstetrician and gynecologist, Russian citizen : Salary as a gynecologist in Ghana? It is easy to get opportunity as gynecologist in Accra? Safety in Ghana? Thanks
If they bring this type of private practice in Major Kenyan cities they'll make a fortune, and simply because Kenyans run to India, SA or UK for specialized treatments and spends $100,000s and not to mention the cost of accommodation abroad. 😊
Beautiful how Ghanaians are returning home to establish, with confidence 👍
Who else is excited and hopeful for Africa just seeing the first 60 secs of this video?
Meeeeee lol
Me for sure!
I worked in health care in the US for 39 years and just recently retired. It is such a rewarding profession!!!
Congratulations on your retirement 🙌🏽
@@VanessaKanbi thank you

Happy Friday! Great info as usual, Vanessa. I’m sure healthcare workers who are looking to relocate will appreciate this video!
More of such facilities are being built by diasporan Ghanaians from Germany, Canada etc. Vanessa has UA-cam videos on others being built in Ghana.
Ghana is really forging a path for themselves! Very inspiring to see.

There is hope for AFRICA! I know there are many more of these building.. and many more to come, in every village.
When more professionals go back/move to Africa you will see major changes. Brain drain is truly detrimental.
Way to go,nice interviews,really love the passion shown by the professionals.
Thank you so much Vanessa for this video❤️❤️. As a healthcare professional myself, I’m so glad to see such facilities on the uprise and bridging the healthcare disparity gap in Ghana. I hope to one day come back home and start my own practice as well.

Or, start your own firm in Ghana, its the land of oppurtunity. Great luck to you.
... or your own entrepreneurial initiative. That's even better and Joy can do it - joyfully too! Amen.
Consider starting your own business. God bless you

Fantastic work. Kudos to You and your team. Answered a lot of questions that I was asking just this week.

Great job my sister much love stay peace and more blessings❤
Thank you so much for this information
Well done Ghana! I want to live there 😃
Thanks for the video, Vanessa.
i wish you would have asked them about options for lower income people, those who do not have insurance and cannot afford to pay out of pocket
Wow! what an eye opening video we appreciated thanks.
Thank you Vanessa
You are awesome!!🎉
Wow. Just one hour this video was posted. Great video Vanessa. Keep them coming.
Thanks for the info...But does Lucca Health accept Medicare from the US as health insurance?
I don’t think the US government covers Medicare outside of the US, can you check and confirm
Anyway LuccaHealth accept
UnitedHealth Care
Aetna
MetLife
GeoBlue (blue cross blue shield)
I believe those are US based health plans?
Great question. How about Obamacare?
They should African American created this in ghana he should of tried to get insurance so we can get help if need while we there
