Overview
Ghana has made major strides in improving access to health services. Despite these improvements, Ghana did not meet the Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5. Quality of care is a major factor that could explain this shortfall. In order to address the above challenge, Ghana developed a5-year strategy (the Ghana National Healthcare Quality Strategy 2017-2022).Under the strategy, the Ghana Health Service (GHS)is working to strengthen Universal Health Coverage through strengthening the health system to ensure access and use of, high-quality health services by all Ghanaians. A core component of the approach is to integrate quality assurance and quality improvement measures as cross-cutting themes to improve service delivery. The proposed Health System Strengthening in Ghana is in line with WHO global Programme of Work 13 and is one of the priority areas in the Triple Billion initiative by the Director General. The health system strengthening function provides the linkage for WHO support to the GHS.
