Ghana: Health Care System
In March 1957 the Republic of Ghana was the first African
country to achieve its independence from the United Kingdom.
The first president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, commissioned health
care facilities to care for indigenous people of Ghana. The
health system was fully funded by state revenue; however, the
lack of accessible health facilities in rural areas led to poor
health outcomes (increase in communicable and non-
communicable diseases, high infant and child mortality rates,
etc.). The health system eventually experienced a budget crisis
and, consequently, moved towards a cash system in which the
patient pays for care and medication.
Health Care System
There are four main categories of health delivery systems in
Ghana: public, private for-profit, private not-for-profit, and
traditional systems. There has been a mandate since 1995 to
integrate traditional and mainstream medicine. The health care
system in Ghana is divided into three administrative levels:
national, regional, and district levels. Additionally, there are
several funding sources for the health system in place, however,
it is grossly inadequate for achieving the goal of providing
access to even basic health care for citizens throughout the
country.
Watch the video, Dying patients in
Search of Basic Healthcare in Ghana (Links to an external
site.)Links to an external site.
that reveals the constraints and challenges in delivering health
care in Ghana.
Briefly summarize the key things you learned about the
constraints and challenges. How do you think Ghana can tackle
these constraints and challenges? Compare how Ghana’s
healthcare system compares to that of the United States and
explain any similarities/differences.
