National Drug Safety Campaign 2010 - Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana

The National Drug Safety Campaign is something that the Ghanian Pharmaceutical Students Association organizes every year as an outreach to communities that have limited access to healthcare knowledge and health education. This year the students focused on the rationale use of medication - this includes things like take a full course of antibiotics, take them only when you need them, and take them orally - do not open the capsule and pour the contents on the infected area. We also taught the communities about malaria prevention, HIV/AIDs, Swine flu, and candiadisis. This is me teaching a group of high school students some basic HIV / AIDs education.
