US Invests 13.5million in Health Sector

The United States government has invested more than $13.5million in Ghana’s health sector, particularly in maternal and child health within the last five years of its support programme for the country.

In all, 72 nursing and midwifery skills laboratories and 12 model Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compounds were refurbished and equipped in beneficiary communities, while 420 principals and tutors in those schools were also trained in the effective use and maintenance of the laboratories.

As part of the support, CHPS implementation guidelines and costing tools to help plan for activities at the CHPS level were developed.

An e-learning Application was also developed to enable nursing and midwifery students to access quality learning and teaching materials on their electronic devices.

The programme also trained 5,300 Community Health Management Committee members and 750 frontline community health workers on a new CHPS policy and guidelines.
