Systems for Health

Systems for Health supports the Government of Ghana to scale-up evidence-based, high-impact interventions aiming to end preventable child/maternal deaths, reduce unmet need for family planning, improve the nutritional status of pregnant women/young children, and gender equity.

Working with the Ghana Health Service (GHS) Regional and District Health Management Teams in 5 regions, the project improves the technical and organizational performance of existing facilities, expands coverage of Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) zones, strengthens the interaction between GHS staff and community volunteers, and provides quality assurance for health interventions.

Health worker training and service delivery will include point-of-use water treatment and promotion of hand-washing with soap.

The project will strengthen health systems, support national policy change, build CHPS facilities (with construction of facility borehole and latrines), and encourage service integration.
