An Overview of the Healthcare Industry in Ghana

Ghana's healthcare industry is typified by a government sector that serves the majority of the population and a growing private sector that serves 40 percent of healthcare needs. The healthcare industry is showing positive growth as the Ministry of Health (MOH) is investing a large amount of capital into the revitalisation of all public institutions. The National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) implemented by the MOH has made healthcare goods and services more affordable and accessible to Ghanaians. Lucrative growth is experienced in both the pharmaceutical- and medical devices industries.
