Abstract:
Ghana is a West African state that attained independence from Great Britain in 1957 and became a republican state in 1960. Its population is about 22 million (2004 estimate), distributed in ten regions. The World Health Organization (WHO) has estimated that 650000 of the population are suffering from severe mental disorder and 2166000 are suffering from moderate to mild mental disorder (see www.who.int/mental_health/policy/country/ghana/en).

Abstract:
Mental health care in Ghana has been fraught with several challenges leading to stagnant growth in mental health service delivery and in some cases a severe depreciation in the nature of care. The Government of Ghana pays little or no attention to mental health care in the country, a situation that has led to poor service delivery in the three major psychiatric hospitals in Ghana. The implementation of the Ghana Mental Act of 2012 has also been faced with major challenges with no significant progress being made. This studytherefore sought to review and document the development of mental health care services in Ghana. Specifically, the study examined the various legislations on mental health that have been enacted in Ghana since 1900; investigated the implementation of the current Mental Health Act of Ghana; found out whether the Ghanaian government has prioritise mental health services in the country and assessed the challenges and problems that confronted mental health services in Ghana since 1900.The study concludes that, since 1888 efforts have been made by various governments to legislate the provision of mental services in Ghana. However, these legislations have not always protected the rights and interest of the mentally ill.

Abstract:
In Ghana, the main burden of ill-health, as in many sub-Saharan countries, consists of communicable disease, illnesses due to inadequate nutrition and poor reproductive health. As these conditions are tackled, other diseases, such as mental disorders and substance misuse, are also becoming the focus of development efforts. In Ghana, it has been estimated that there are 2166 000 individuals experiencing a mild to moderate mental disorder, with a further 650000 suffering from a severe mental disorder, out of a population of 21.6 million (World Health Organization, 2007). In 2003, the country's mental health workforce consisted of 9 psychiatrists (only 4 of whom worked in mental health services), 451 nurses and 160 community psychiatric nurses (World Health Organization, 2003). Currently there are just 5 consultant psychiatrists in active service in the public sector and 11 retired psychiatrists. As just under 33 000 individuals are seen each year in Ghana by mental health services, there is an estimated treatment gap of 98% (World Health Organization, 2007). Most mental healthcare is undertaken at the three large psychiatric hospitals, in the south of the country. This is reflected in the ratio of out-patient attendance to admission, which is 4.64 for mental health, compared with 14.6 for all health conditions (Ghana Health Service, 2005).

Abstract:
Rapid ageing of populations globally following reductions in fertility and mortality rates has become one of the most significant demographic features in recent decades. As a low- and middle-income country, Ghana has one of the largest and fastest growing older populations in sub-Saharan Africa, where ageing often occurs ahead of socioeconomic development and provision of health and social care services. Older persons in these contexts often face greater health challenges and various life circumstances including role loss, retirement, irregular incomes and widowhood, which can increase their demand for both formal and informal support. This thesis addresses the effects of the socio-political structure, informal social support and micro-level factors on health and health-seeking behaviour among community-dwelling older persons in Ghana. The theoretical perspectives draw on political economy of ageing, social convoy theory and Andersen5s behavioural model. Using multi-stage stratified cluster cross-sectional survey data of older cohorts (N= 1,200) aged 50 years and older, multivariate generalised Poisson and logit regression models estimated the associations among variables and interaction terms. Although Ghana’s national health insurance scheme (NHIS) enrollment was significantly associated with increased log count of healthcare use (β = 0.237), the relationship was largely a function of health status. Moreover, the NHIS was related with improved time from onset of illness to healthcare use (β = 1.347). However, even with NHIS enrollment, the intermediate (OR = 1.468) and richer groups (OR = 2.149) had higher odds of seeking healthcare compared with the poor. In addition, features of meaningful informal social support including contacts with family and friends, social participation and remittances significantly improved psychological wellbeing and health services utilisation. Somewhat counter-intuitively, spousal cohabitation was associated with decreased health services use (OR = 0.999). Whilst self-rated health revealed a strong positive association with functional status of older persons (fair SRH: β = 1.346; poor SRH: β = 2.422), the relationship differed by gender and also was moderated by marital status for women but not men. The employed and urban residents somewhat surprisingly had lower odds of formal healthcare use. The findings support the hypotheses that interactive impacts of aspects of structural and functional social support and removal of catastrophic healthcare costs are particularly important in older persons’ psychological health and health service utilisation. Nevertheless, Ghana’s NHIS currently apparently lacks the capacity to improve equitable attendance at health facility between poor and non-poor. In contributing to the public health and social policy discourse, this study proposes that, whilst policies to ensure improved health status of older people are recommended, multidimensional social support and NHIS policy should be properly resourced and strengthened so they may act as critical tools for improving health and health services utilization of this marginalized and vulnerable older people in Ghana. Moreover, policies targeting and addressing economic empowerment including universal social pensions and welfare payments should be initiated and maintained to complement the NHIS for older people. The achievement of age-relevant policies and Universal Health Coverage (UCH) as advocated by WHO could be enhanced by adopting some of these suggestions.

Abstract:
This dissertation has explored the problem of a yawning gap between policy and the implementation of lay participation in health development activities in Ghana, using data from 577 households in 22 rural communities.
A Health Systems model has been applied to data, to explain relationships and four sets of variables--household need for health services, predisposing attributes, participatory patterns, enabling factors--on household use of available health facilities and services.
Overall, results indicate a complex interdependence of factors which influence modern health services use. A multiple regression procedure identifies the presence of children under 5 years, the household's perception of its influence in the community, household participation in community health-related activities, household socio-economic and educational levels, to be significantly related to services use. Results suggest that Need for services is Not a sufficient condition for the Use of available health services.

Abstract:
Health can be described as both a product and a process of life, and is necessary for human wellbeing, overall quality of life and productivity. While health is generally desirable, many factors affect health and health outcomes of individuals and populations the world over. Virtually all individuals will be faced with one health problem or another during their lifetime, that requires some form of health care intervention. Whatever their reasons for seeking care, all health care consumers share a common interest – a desire to get better. In a pluralistic health care environment where different avenues exist for seeking and receiving health care, differential choice of care may be influenced by sociodemographic and related factors. To the extent that the available avenues for seeking and receiving health care do not offer the same opportunities for improving health, significantly different health outcomes may be realized for comparable conditions for which different types and volume of health care are sought and received. Understanding the factors that influence health-seeking behaviors among various populations may therefore, be an important first step in designing intervention programs that nudge health consumers toward better health-seeking behaviors with the goal to improving health and health outcomes among these populations. The purpose of this research was to develop a research instrument for studying health-seeking behaviors based on the Health Belief Model, and to use the instrument to study the factors that influence/predict health-seeking behaviors among Ghanaians. Using a convenience sample of 504 participants recruited from the Greater Accra, Ashanti, Volta and Northern Regions, analyses of the data showed that different sociodemographic characteristics such as age group, gender and health insurance status as well as selected modified constructs of the Health Belief Model such as Perceived Barriers to mainstream care, variously and collectively influence health-seeking behaviors at government and private health facilities, self-medication with herbal and pharmaceutical drugs, faith healing and care from traditional/herbal practitioners. Based on the findings of this study, the author concludes that health-seeking behaviors in Ghana are influenced by a multiplicity of factors including sociodemographic characteristics. Subsequently, recommendations for a more extensive study with a complementary qualitative enquiry are made in order to gain a more wholistic insight of the drivers of health-seeking behaviors in Ghana.

Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references.
Financial risk protection against the cost of unforeseen ill health has become a global concern as expressed in the 2005 World Health Assembly resolution (WHA58.33), which urges its member states to "plan the transition to universal coverage of their citizens". The study (the first of kind in Ghana) measured the relative progressivity of health care financing mechanisms, the catastrophic and impoverishment effect of direct health care payments, as well as evaluating the factors affecting enrolment in the national health insurance scheme (NHIS), which is the intended means for achieving equitable health financing and universal coverage in Ghana. To achieve the purpose of the study, secondary data from the Ghana Living Standard Survey (GLSS) 2005/2006 were used. This was triangulated with data from the Ministry of Finance and other ministries and departments, and further complemented with primary household data collected in six districts. In addition 44 focus group discussions with different groups of people and communities were conducted. In-depth interviews were also conducted with six managers of District NHI schemes as well as the NHIS headquarters. The study found that generally Ghana's health care financing system is progressive. The progressivity of health financing is driven largely by the overall progressivity of taxes which account for over 50% of health care funding. The national health insurance levy is mildly progressive as indicated by a Kakwani index of 0.045. However, informal sector NHI contributions were found to be regressive. Out-of-pocket payments, which account for 45% of funding, are associated with significant catastrophic and impoverishment effects on households. The results also indicate that high premiums, ineffective exemptions, fragmented funding pools and perceived poor quality of care affect the expansion of the NHIS. For Ghana to attain adequate financial protection and ultimately achieve universal coverage, it needs to extend cover to the informal sector, possibly through funding their contributions entirely from tax, and address other issues affecting the expansion of the NHI. Furthermore, the funding pool for health care needs to grow and this can be achieved by improving the efficiency of tax collection and increasing the budgetary allocation to the health sector.

Abstract:
Le concept de Couverture Santé Universelle (CSU) est désormais mondialement accepté comme un moyen de fournir équitablement des soins de santé aux populations. Découlant du troisième Objectif de développement durable des Nations Unies (ODD). Le Ghana, a lancé en 2003 sa propre forme de couverture sanitaire universelle en créant un Régime national d’assurance maladie et la mise en œuvre de services de santé extrahospitaliers de proximité (community-based). Cependant, après plus d'une décennie de mise en œuvre, la CSU ghanéenne a stagné. Afin de comprendre et d’expliquer ce phénomène, cette recherche examine la mise en œuvre du Régime national d’assurance maladie ghanéen du point de vue des déterminants sociaux de la santé. Il étudie ses implications pour la croissance (en termes d’inscription et de renouvellement) dans le cas où le principe complémentaire de promotion de la santé dans toutes les politiques publiques, pour prendre en compte le rôle des déterminants sociaux de santé. L’étude repose sur une méthode essentiellement qualitative, complétée par des données quantitatives. L’analyse permet de soutenir empiriquement l’argument d’une meilleure prise en compte des déterminants sociaux de santé au Ghana. La recherche montre également que l’existence d’une tension entre une approche purement volontaire de la mise en œuvre de la Couverture Santé Universelle et l’approche quasi obligatoire adoptée au Ghana. En conclusion, la recherche montre que la stratégie actuelle adoptée par le Ghana, n’est pas financièrement soutenable
The Universal Health Coverage (UHC) has become a globally accepted concept and medium of providing healthcare to populations equitably and it’s a goal from the third Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), to be achieved by 2030. It has been described as one of the most progressive concepts to transform lives. Ghana in 2003 initiated its own form of the UHC through the establishment of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) and the continuation of the Community Health-Based Planning and Services (CHPS) implementation. It was a political decision which brought together different interest groups. The implementation of this decision saw healthcare expenditure shoot up to 10.6 percent as a share of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2007. After more than a decade, the UHC (NHIS) has stagnated in growth. This study looks at the NHIS’ implementation from the point of view of the Social Determinants of Health (SDH) and what it could mean for growth if the Health in All Policies (HiAP) concept was applied. Through the use of Kingdon’s theoretical framework in terms of multiple-streams framework and agendas, alternatives and public policies, the policy process and environment are assessed. The research method used was qualitative case study. Some of the research outcomes were that there are undercurrents of tensions existing between a purely voluntary approach to the implementation of the UHC policy and the quasi-compulsory approach adopted by the country. In conclusion, the research finds that financially, it is not feasible to continue with the current strategy. There is the need to seek better institutional complementarities in pursuant of the UHC and adoption of the SDH

Abstract:
Ghana is identified among the developing countries with high maternal mortality ratio in Africa. This study unpacked the Demographic and Health Survey data by examining the maternal health indicators at the district level using GIS methods. Understanding the geographic patterns of antenatal care, place of delivery, and skilled birth attendants at the small scale will help to formulate and plan for location-specific health interventions that can improve maternal health care behavior among Ghanaian women. Districts with high rates and low rates were identified. Place of residence, Gini-Coefficient, wealth status, internet access, and religious affiliation were used to explore the underlying factors associated with the observed patterns. Economic inequality was positively associated with increased use of maternal health care services. The ongoing free maternal health policy serves as a cushion effect for the economic inequality among the districts in the Northern areas. Home delivery is common among the rural districts and is more prominent mostly in the western part of Northern Region and southwest of Upper West. Educating women about the free maternal health policy remains the most viable strategy for positive maternal health outcomes and in reducing MMR in Ghana.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the problems of health financing and the emergence of Mutual Health Organisations under the health sector reforms in Ghana. Governments of sub-Saharan Africa region have embraced the Community-based health insurance schemes concept under the health sector reforms, with momentous enthusiasm. They believe that these newly emerging health financing arrangements could easily be utilised as platforms for initiating Social Health Insurance strategies to reach the economically deprived people. Without such schemes, citizens would become poorer because they would have had to dispose of their family's wealth in order to treat a member who falls sick. Ghana, a developing country in West Africa has introduced a National Health Insurance Scheme, which is fused with Social health insurance and Community-based health insurance schemes. This study examines pro-active plans to address the financial viability of the schemes, to prevent them from going insolvent. The study generally, investigates health sector reforms in the context of Ghana. Four operating District Mutual Health Insurance Schemes (MHOs) were selected using geographical locations, among other criteria, as case studies. Data was gathered through interviews. The findings of the empirical study were analysed and interpreted using social policy and community field theories with the support of available documents. The evidence from the study concludes that government's intervention (implementation of NIH Act 650) has increased and expanded the membership base of the schemes: from small group-based to district-wide schemes under the ambit of the District Assemblies. However, such intervention has equally led to diminished community initiatives in establishing, and the complete collapse of the original small group-based schemes. The study also finds among other things that:
  1. The financial viability of the schemes depends on the provision of long-term government subsidy. However, they may not be financially viable beyond subsidy-funding due to uncontrollable high utilisation rate, occurrence of health insurance fraud, moral hazard and associated exorbitant claims made on them by health care providers.
  2. There are problems with late release of reimbursement funds for discharging with claims by the central government. This has impacted heavily on the financial and strategic management and decision making processes of health institutions in the operating districts.
  3. Health managers are unable to fulfil their contractual obligations to their suppliers as their capital funds are locked up with the Mutual Health Organisations that arc also unable to provide front loading for the health providers even up to a period of three (3) months of their financial operational requirements.
  4. There is therefore. a perceived tension between the schemes and the health institutions as the health institutions prefer to treat clients who come under the 'cash and carry' group since they provide prompt payment to the detriment of insured clients whose reimbursement is delayed causing the institutions to be cash-trapped. This is recommended for immediate attention.

Abstract:
The International Health Regulations (2005) are legally binding on 196 States Parties, Including all WHO Member States. The IHR aims to keep the world informed about public health risks, through committing all signatories to cooperate together in combating any future “illness or medical condition, irrespective of origin or source, that presents or could present significant harm to humans.” Under IHR, countries agreed to strengthen their public health capacities and notify the WHO of any such illness in their populations. The WHO would be the centralized body for all countries facing a health threat, with the power to declare a “public health emergency of international concern,” issue recommendations, and work with countries to tackle a crisis. Although, with the sudden and rapid spread of COVID-19 in the world, many countries varied in implementing the WHO guidelines and health recommendations. While some countries followed the WHO guidelines, others imposed travel restrictions against the WHO’s recommendations. Some refused to share their data with the organization. Others banned the export of medical equipment, even in the face of global shortages. The UN Compliance Research group will focus during the current cycle on analyzing the compliance of the WHO member states to the organizations guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract:
This working paper predicts the fiscal and public health outcomes from a change in the excise tax structure for cigarettes in Ghana. More than 5,000 people are killed by diseases caused by tobacco every year in Ghana (Tobacco Atlas 2018). Currently the country has a unitary tax administration approach, with a uniform ad valorem tax structure on all excisable products, including tobacco. However, the ECOWAS directive on tobacco control, in line with the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO 2003), recommends a simple tax structure – using a mixed excise system with a minimum specific tax floor to overcome the limitations of an ad valorem system on tobacco products, especially cigarettes. The study therefore simulates mixed tax policy interventions, and assesses their effect on government revenue and public health relative to the current ad valorem tax system. Primary data collection of tobacco prices in three geographical zones of the country was conducted in February 2020, across both rural and urban localities. This was supported with secondary data from national and international databases. Based on the assumption that Ghana adopts a mixed tax structure, the simulation shows that, if the government imposes a specific excise tax of GH₵4.00 (US$0.80) per pack in addition to the current ad valorem rate of 175 per cent of the CIF value, the average retail price of a cigarette pack would increase by 128 per cent, cigarette consumption decrease by 27 per cent, tobacco excise tax revenue increase by 627 per cent, and overall tobacco-related government tax revenue increase by 201 per cent.1 Additionally, there would be significant declines in smoking prevalence (3.3%), smoking intensity (1,448 cigarettes per year), and 3,526 premature smoking-related deaths would be avoided. The paper advocates for a strong tax administration and technical capacity, with continuous commitment by the government to adjust the tax rate in line with the rate of inflation and per capita income growth.
