Sounds like a walk in the park. Worst thing you encounter are mosquitoes ?

Come on Andy ! Tell us about being kidnapped and trading your kidney and Nikes for freedom or at least tell us about how the village was about to boil you in oil for a Voodoo sacrifice until the U.N. Troops stepped in at the last moment ? Or how about that one time at band camp when you were forced to into cannibalism to survive your stay in a Haitian prison ?

What a terrific idea! I wish I had this information, while in Ghana for our 9 month stay. I caught Malaria at the very end, and within a week, the entire family had it. My husband and I ended up in the same hospital room, hospitalized, for about 2 days while, "the shot" and "drip", worked its magic. What a horrible experience.

Finally, after we were discharged, my son had to be admitted, which meant I had to be readmitted. The nursing staff isn't like it is here in the USA. Admit a child, and the mother basically needs to be admitted, as well, to care for that child.

Hospitals in the USA would rank as 3-4 star hotels In Kumasi. Your hospital stay there will not guarantee you the luxury of television, phones, the internet, or bed trays with meals every few hours. We were actually dependent upon our host family to bring us food, to eat, during our entire stay. They would prepare it, and then walk a few miles to the hospital a few times a day, to feed us. A hospital stay in Kumasi, could end up being a disaster for a traveler who is alone, and without any support from locals.

Nonetheless, unlike the USA, at the end of each of our hospital stays, we were able to, comfortably pay, for the care recieved - in FULL. Just a taste of what's possible, here, in the USA. Yes, healthcare can be affordable, or even FREE. It does not have to leave you in debt until you die :)

So.... to keep the mosquitos out, that cause the malaria - at any cost - is worth the effort. Thank you tremendously for this tip!
