Overview

Critical analysis identifies disparities in maternal health services in Ghana, suggesting improvements in infrastructure and workforce.

Key Points

  • Ghana halved its maternal mortality ratio from 499 to 263 deaths per 100,000 live births between 2000 and 2020.
  • Evaluation shows that EmONC facilities struggle with infrastructure, human resources, and logistics.
  • Solutions call for upgrading facilities and improving the training of healthcare professionals in rural areas.
