APRIDEC Medical Outreach Group is a non-profit making, non-governmental organisation established by health professionals from the Upper East Region of Ghana in response to the challenges facing the people of the Northern part of Ghana.

This year (3rd-9th April, 2016), the surgical outreach programme at Upper West Region was dedicated to the School of Medical Sciences (SMS), KNUST as part of its 40 years anniversary celebration.  

The group consisting of specialist surgeons, anaesthetists, and theatre nurses visited these towns: Wa, Nandom, Nadowli, Jirapa, Lawra, Tumu, Wechiau.The group did some consulting and surgical services which would have required the patients to come to either Kumasi or Accra to be attended to by a specialist.
