Ghana has made significant strides in maternal and newborn health while facing ongoing challenges. With a maternal mortality ratio of approximately 263.1 deaths per 100,000 live births and a neonatal mortality rate of approximately 21.1 deaths per 1,000 live births, the country shows both progress and persistent needs. Ghana's national health insurance scheme has helped reduce financial barriers to maternal care, covering approximately 80% of the population, though informal payments sometimes create additional obstacles. The Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) program has expanded access to basic services in rural areas, bringing maternal care closer to communities. Ghana has successfully increased skilled birth attendance rates to around 79% through its focus on training midwives and expanding facility-based deliveries. However, significant urban-rural disparities persist, and the quality of care varies widely between regions, with the northern regions facing particular challenges in healthcare worker retention and facility readiness. Recent initiatives focus on strengthening emergency referral systems through dedicated maternal ambulances and improving respectful maternity care to address negative experiences that deter facility usage.
