Ghana
Overview
CHAI began partnering with the Ghanaian government in 2018, working alongside the Ministry of Health to introduce and scale up family planning products such as the DMPA-SC (a self-injectable, long-acting contraceptive). We also partnered with the ministry to roll out a national newborn screening program for sickle cell disease. We used geospatial tools to map new sickle cell screening and treatment delivery sites and to inform the scale-up to unreached areas. As a trusted and strategic partner to the government at the national and sub-national level, we now provide technical assistance across multiple health programs, including malaria, cancer, oxygen access, diagnostics, noncommunicable diseases, vaccines, and COVID-19. We work closely with in-country partners such as WHO, USAID, UNICEF, and others to ensure that our work complements the support they provide to the government.
