Ghana

GHI Country Strategy
The United States has a long history of coordinated health sector planning with the Government of Ghana to ensure cohesion of strategy and implementation, which has only been enhanced through a more cohesive U.S. Government effort under the Global Health Initiative (GHI).

Ghana’s Health Sector Medium Term Development Plan for 2010–2013 identifies poor access to health services and the low quality of services as the most severe bottlenecks in the sector.

Under GHI, the U.S. Government in Ghana will focus on the following three cross-cutting areas across the health sector:

1. Accessing quality services
2. Using strategic information
3. Governance and accountability in the health sector

GHI Principles in Action
By focusing on reducing barriers to development in these areas, GHI will make a significant contribution to the Government of Ghana’s progress toward the Millennium Development Goals in the areas of maternal and child mortality, child nutrition, infectious disease prevalence, and access to improved water and sanitation sources.
