HEALTHCARE IN REMOTE AREAS OF GHANA

With subsidized health insurance schemes, Ghana suffers on both an individual and national level lack of hospital funding. Hospitals and clinics are pushed to their limit to care for their patients on extremely limited resources, often missing life-saving medications and important equipment.

Even in the advanced hospitals in the city of Greater Accra and among others, a distinct lack of safe, clean medical equipment makes even simple procedures potentially life-threatening. With no medication for pain and a shortage of beds, critically ill patients are often left in undignified and agonizing conditions.
