FOREWORD The Ghana Health Service together with its partners and other health agencies is responsible for the provision of health care delivery to the people of Ghana. This involves the planning, implementation, monitoring and performance assessment of health programmes and services. In order to fulfill this role there is the need for accurate, relevant and timely information on the health status and health services in Ghana. This document, The Health Sector in Ghana: Facts and Figures, 2007 is an update version of that produced in 2005. It is a handy reference on the performance of the health sector as an information tool for policy makers, health service / programme managers, health partners and stakeholders, researchers and students. The document has proved immensely popular as judged by the high demand for it from various quarters. The data and information are mainly summaries and population-based indicators. Readers are directed to The Ghana Health Service Annual Report and Ghana Health Service Annual Statistical Report for detailed presentation of the performance of the health sector. The Ghana Health Service acknowledges the significant role of other agencies such as the Ghana Statistical Services in the provision of health-related statistics to the general public. Some of such statistics have been quoted in this publication and duly acknowledged. The Centre for Health Information Management of the Policy, Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation division of the Ghana Health Service is the focal unit responsible for the collection, analysis, reporting and presentation of health service information in the Ghana Health Service.
