Effects of economic development and health expenditure on health outcomes in sub-Saharan Africa
Purpose This paper examines the effect of economic development and health expenditures on underreported health outcomes in sub-Saharan Africa and identifies the critical thresholds at which these effects are most pronounced. Design/methodology/approach The study utilized panel data from 1996 to 2021 and applied the instrumental variable two-stage least squares (IV-2SLS) estimator to address endogeneity issues often associated with panel data. Fin…
Household wealth and maternal health
Purpose In 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) revised upwards the recommended contacts for antenatal care (ANC) by expectant mothers with a health provider from a minimum of four to eight over the pregnancy period. Although Ghana is yet to adopt the new recommendation, some women choose to adhere to the new protocol because of its enormous health benefits to the expecting mother and the unborn child. As part of ANC, family planning service…

Impact of a bottom-up community engagement intervention on maternal and child health services utilization in Ghana
Community engagement in health has the potential of improving utilization of maternal and child health services. There is the need for multi-stakeholder dialogues on complementing existing quality improvement interventions with community engagement strategies
The Impact of Health Expenditures on Health Outcomes in Sub-Saharan Africa
This article investigates the core macroeconomic and social determinants of health expenditures as well as the effect of health expenditures on select critical health outcomes (life expectancy, under-five mortality and maternal mortality) in recent years in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The study utilizes data on 46 sub-Saharan African countries covering the period 2000–2015. The results indicate that gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, physicia…
HIV/Aids Awareness and Knowledge Among Ghanaian Women of Reproductive Age
This paper explores the predictors of HIV/AIDS awareness and knowledge among older and younger Ghanaian women of reproductive age. Logistic regression was estimated using the 2014 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey data. Results indicate that older Ghanaian women are significantly different from their younger counterparts in terms of the selected socio-economic and demographic characteristics that influence awareness and knowledge of the epidemi…
Correlates of Patients’ Preference for Therapeutic Injections in a Major Regional Referral Hospital in Ghana
Abuse of injections, particularly in resource poor countries, remains a challenge evident in the increasing preference for therapeutic injections over oral medication. Objective of this study is to explore factors associated with patients’ preference for therapeutic injection over oral medication in the Volta Regional Hospital, Ho in Ghana. The study is a cross-sectional survey conducted among 200 patients accessing care in Volta Regional Hospita…
Alcohol Consumption Among Ghanaian Women of Child Bearing Age – What are the Correlates
This paper examines the demographic and socio-economic correlates of alcohol consumption and drinking frequency among Ghanaian women aged 15-49 years. The study utilizes the 2008 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey data, which remains the most recent DHS for studying the phenomenon in Ghana. Using logistic regression, our findings indicate that alcohol consumption among Ghanaian women is influenced by age, education, and wealth status. In additio…
How do Ghana’s landfills affect residential property values? A case study of two sites in Accra
Like many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, Ghana lacks well-engineered sanitary landfill sites. Increased urbanization and concomitant real estate growth lead landfills to compete with residential land use, resulting in closer proximity between landfill sites and residential neighborhoods. The effects of landfills on the property values of nearby residential communities have been the subject of much debate in the developed world, where state-of-t…
An Individual Level Test of the “Feminization of Poverty” Hypothesis
Feminization of poverty is a hypothesis that postulates that women experience poverty at higher rates than men. Over the years, empirical examination of this hypothesis has relied on the comparison between poverty status of female-headed and male-headed households due to lack of gender disaggregated data in many household surveys. However, the use of poverty among female-headed households as a representative measure of women’s poverty masks the e…
