As cited by Korah, Nunbogu and Ahmed (2023): “Equitable access to health care for everyone is a fundamental goal of the SDGs (UN, 2015). However, there are marked spatial inequalities in healthcare access in Ghana (Peprah, Budu, Agyemang-Duah, Abalo, & Gyimah, 2020; Stewart et al., 2016; Yawson et al., 2017). Recently, a number of initiatives have been made to lessen these access to healthcare disparities. Prominent among these are the free maternal health care program (Witter, Adjei, Armar-Klemesu, & Graham, 2009; Azaare, Akweongo, Aryeetey, & Dwomoh, 2020; Dalinjong et al., 2018a, Dalinjong et al., 2018b), the national health insurance scheme to eliminate financial obstacles that restrict access to and utilization of healthcare (Dixon, Luginaah, & Mkandawire, 2014; Witter & Garshong, 2009), and the construction of health infrastructure to serve deprived areas. Despite these interventions, available evidence has established a strong relationship between socio-economic inequalities and healthcare access and utilization in Ghana (Fenny, Asuman, Crentsil, & Odame, 2018; Kuuire, Bisung, Rishworth, Dixon, & Luginaah, 2016; Novignon, Ofori, Tabiri, & Pulok, 2019). Even when health facilities are available, geographic accessibility – defined here as the distance and time spent accessing health facilities – has been identified as a critical challenge (Agbenyo, Marshall Nunbogu, & Dongzagla, 2017; Ashiagbor, Ofori-Asenso, Forkuo, & Agyei-Frimpong, 2020).” We are privileged at ResQ World to contribute to ongoing efforts to improve access to healthcare in the nation through our free medical screening efforts. #healthcare #communitydevelopment Prosper Issahaku Korah, Abraham Marshall Nunbogu, Abubakari Ahmed, Measuring access to health facilities in Ghana: Implications for implementation of health interventions and the Sustainable Development Goal 3, Applied Geography, Volume 158, 2023, 103026, ISSN 0143-6228, https://lnkd.in/evzNhTpb.

An excellent webinar by CareGroups! #1 learning point: Save the Children, with local partners, held "Husband Schools" for men to learn about hygiene, nutrition, and more. #1 case in point: If we don't enter a context first asking questions, we could be providing "answers" which are perceived as irrelevant. World Relief *learned first* that in a certain country, people believed that they were too resilient to catch cholera. That completely changes the starting point for cholera prevention efforts! #ContinualLearning

Those working in aged care and community services can hear from Forgotten Australians and care leavers at this forum about how to provide more appropriate care for those who lived in orphanages, missions, group homes, foster care as children - ageing can mean reinstitutionalisation and some say they would rather die than to lose control and choice about where and how they live…we can do better #forgottenaustralians #careleavers #traumainformedcare #agedcareaustralia

Partnering with local media can be invaluable in raising awareness of hospice funding challenges. It also helps mobilise support from the local community. Bolton Hospice worked with an Editor to secure a weekly spot in their local newspaper. Each issue shared hospice stories with the public, addressing misconceptions and highlighting the importance of hospice services. Want to do something similar at your hospice?

?? The Legacy of Black Hospitals in the South ?? Many Black hospitals across the South were crucial in providing culturally responsive care, especially during segregation. Flint-Goodridge Hospital, once a well known hospital in the New Orleans Black community, is one of many that have shut down throughout the years around the country, leaving a ripple effect of lack of access to care and a lack of diverse providers to areas that greatly need both. As we reflect on the history of these institutions, it’s a reminder of the importance of equitable healthcare and the need to address the disparities that continue to exist.
