State of health in Ghana - statistics & facts

The health of individuals in Ghana, including diseases and infections as well as mental stability, is at the heart of the Ghana Health Service and other health institutions in the country, such as the Christian Health Association of Ghana (CHAG). Since government expenditure on health covers only around two percent of the country's GDP, public organizations may face financial challenges in providing quality healthcare.
