The normal rotation is 30 days beginning either at the beginning of each month or, if double-coverage is being provided, going mid-month to mid-month.

Volunteers pay their own expenses which at present is mainly the airfare to and from Ghana and the preparatory vaccines (yellow fever, hepatitis A & B, and typoid) the anti-malarial drugs and the passport and visa.
A travel insurance policy is a must.

PATHOLOGISTS OVERSEAS

Pathologists Overseas was founded in the spring of 1991 by Dr. Heinz Hoenecke. Our mission is to help improve and provide affordable pathology services to under-served patients worldwide. This is to be accomplished through volunteer efforts of pathologists and technologists, primarily from the United States and Canada.

As the organization and its activities grew, it became evident that this mission would be better served by incorporating as a nonprofit charitable organization. On July 2, 1992, Pathologists Overseas was incorporated in the State of California. Subsequently, we have obtained an Internal Revenue Service ruling as a tax-exempt organization under sections 501(a) and 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
