Expat Life Ghana- Best Hospitals in Africa

Surgery in West Africa

Tony needed surgery in West Africa… but where could we go to get the best care?
Do we need to consider leaving Africa for the US? Are we going to regret moving to Africa because we have to keep going to the US for surgery?
Okay, okay… maybe we’re being dramatic. BUT access to quality hospitals in Africa was a concern.
That sent us on a quest for the best hospitals in Africa.

Expat Life Ghana- Farming in Ghana

Farming Business in Ghana

We bought the farm! Kidding. We visited the farm of Pastor Paul and saw his business operations for raising chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, and rabbits PLUS his mango fields too. He is ramping up his operations and looking for investors, which got us thinking about the farming business in Ghana.
