Health in Ghana includes the prevention, care and treatment of disease and other maladies. As parts of the Ghanaian economy are not fully industrialized, issues arise that are common to growing healthcare systems, such as waterborne disease and sanitation problems. Diseases in Ghana are fairly similar to those endemic in other Sub-Saharan countries, with diseases as malaria and HIV/AIDS having significant impact on the population.

Famous quotes containing the words health and/or ghana:
“We are conscious of an animal in us, which awakens in proportion as our higher nature slumbers. It is reptile and sensual, and perhaps cannot be wholly expelled; like the worms which, even in life and health, occupy our bodies. Possibly we may withdraw from it, but never change its nature. I fear that it may enjoy a certain health of its own; that we may be well, yet not pure.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“While the rest of the world has been improving technology, Ghana has been improving the quality of man’s humanity to man.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
