Vaccinations: It’s important for accessible travelers to receive the recommended vaccinations before traveling to Ghana. Make sure to consult with a healthcare provider at least 4-6 weeks before your trip to ensure you have enough time to get all necessary vaccinations. You may also want to consider bringing along any necessary medications or medical supplies that you may need during your trip.

Malaria prevention: Ghana is a high-risk area for malaria, which can be especially dangerous for accessible travelers. Make sure to take anti-malaria medication before, during, and after your trip, and to use insect repellent and sleep under a mosquito net. You may also want to consider staying in accommodations with air conditioning or screened windows to help keep mosquitoes at bay.

Food and water safety: Accessible travelers should be especially cautious when it comes to food and water safety in Ghana. Stick to bottled water and food from reputable restaurants and hotels, and avoid consuming food from street vendors. Also, make sure to wash your hands regularly with soap and water to help prevent the spread of illness.

Traveler’s diarrhea: Traveler’s diarrhea is a common issue for all travelers to Ghana, but it can be especially problematic for accessible travelers. To prevent this, avoid drinking tap water, ice cubes, and uncooked or undercooked food. Stick to hot, well-cooked food and fruits that can be peeled.

Sun protection: Ghana is close to the equator, which means the sun can be intense. This can be especially problematic for accessible travelers who may have skin sensitivity issues. Wear protective clothing and use sunscreen with a high SPF to avoid sunburn and skin damage.

Medical insurance: Accessible travelers should make sure they have adequate medical insurance that covers any medical emergencies that may occur during their trip. This can include hospitalization, evacuation, and repatriation. It’s also a good idea to bring along any necessary medical equipment or supplies that you may need during your trip.
