Ministry of Health (Ghana)

The Ministry of Health (MoH) is the government ministry of Ghana that is responsible for the health of Ghanaians. It is involved in providing public health services, managing Ghana's healthcare industry, and building Ghana's hospitals and medical education system.

Ministry main offices are located in Accra.

The ministry is responsible for all health related issues in Ghana. It was responsible for direct public health service delivery or provision in the country. However, with the enactment of an ACT 525 of parliament, the functions of promotion, preventive, curative and rehabilitative care have been delegated to the he Ghana Health Service and Teaching hospitals. Hence, the ministry is now responsible for only policy formulation, monitoring and evaluation, resource mobilization and regulation of the health service delivery in the country.

Construction and Equipping of 597-Bed University Hospital At Legon
Former President John Dramani Mahama inaugurated the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) in 2016. The hospital, with a capacity of 597 beds, was initiated in 2012. After he was out of office in 2017, the project was left dormant until an approval of $50 million was granted by Parliament to finalize the remaining construction at the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC).
