ARHR has conducted a study spanning 18 districts across Ghana, which provided a detailed look into the realities of women’s access to healthcare at the household and community levels. The research examined key barriers preventing women from receiving quality PHC, shedding light on systemic challenges within healthcare facilities and local communities.
The study also explored the role of women’s agency and leadership in making healthcare decisions, investigating how family and societal power dynamics impact women’s ability to seek and receive medical care. Additionally, the findings revealed stark gender disparities in healthcare access, particularly for marginalized and economically disadvantaged women. It also raised important questions about the effectiveness of feedback and accountability mechanisms within healthcare services.
