Pregnant women’s knowledge, attitudes and behaviours towards the integration of HIV/Aids counselling and testing into routine antenatal care in Ghana
Routine Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) Counselling and Testing (HCT) is essential in eliminating mother-to-child transmission (EMTCT) of HIV/AIDS. In Ghana, HCT guidelines have been integrated into routine antenatal care (ANC) to enhance EMTCT outcomes. However, little evidence exists on the factors associated with pregnant women’s knowledge, attitudes and behaviours (KAB) towards this policy initiativ…

Adolescence is a crucial period that affects cognitive, emotional and social development.

The Ghana Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS), as a strategy to achieve the goal of PHC, has shown significant successes in communities where it has been implemented. However, a number of challenges continue to affect the effective functioning of CHPS. This …
Enablers and barriers of community initiated health emergency transport systems in the Upper West Region of Ghana
In the Global South, community emergency transport systems (CETS) are typically in response to inadequate National Ambulance Services and a poor transport network, particularly in rural areas. In Ghana, CETS have emerged some communities under the auspices of the Community-based Health Planning Services program. We explored the enablers and barriers to the success of CETS in the Upper West Region. The results show that among others, effective lea…
Examining the unresolved conundrum of Traditional Birth Attendants’ involvement in maternal and child health care delivery in Ghana
Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs) have been a critical human resource in maternal health care delivery in Ghana. However, following the World Health Organization's directive for countries to discontinue using TBAs, the government of Ghana has since emphasized the use of skilled birth attendants. This policy shift created tensions between TBAs and Community Health Nurses. We examine this conundrum in this paper. We find that despite the ban, TBA…
