  • Enhancing Efficiency in Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health Services: Smarter Use of Resources in Primary Health Care (PHC)

Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health (ASRH) remains a national health priority in Ghana. However, many primary health care (PHC) facilities face challenges in resource utilization, compromising service quality and coverage.

Efficiency was driven not by resource abundance, but by smarter resource deployment, including digital tools, service tracking, and workload management. Strategic investments and replication of best practices can enhance service efficiency and adolescent health outcomes without raising costs.
