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.

“Even though I had let them choose their own socks since babyhood, I was only beginning to learn to trust their adult judgment.. . . I had a sensation very much like the moment in an airplane when you realize that even if you stop holding the plane up by gripping the arms of your seat until your knuckles show white, the plane will stay up by itself. . . . To detach myself from my children . . . I had to achieve a condition which might be called loving objectivity.”
—Anonymous Parent of Adult Children. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 5 (1978)
“While the rest of the world has been improving technology, Ghana has been improving the quality of man’s humanity to man.”
