The global rise in pandemics, most recently COVID-19, and other
health challenges, some of which are due to climate change, have
imposed significant challenges on the healthcare systems in
economies around the world. Thus, this book deals with an issue
that is very timely and relevant, not just in Africa but globally.
It critically assesses healthcare reforms in Ghana under the Fourth
Republic, since 1993. Although it focuses on Ghana's National
Health Insurance Scheme of 2003, the book instructively goes beyond
this program. The book argues that, although Ghana is a bellwether
of healthcare reforms in Africa, its healthcare initiatives are
still far from the service haven of healthcare as a human right.
Themes that animate the book's argument include the need to
translate human rights law, such as the right to health, into
practical policies that work for ordinary citizens. Key highlights
of the book include an increased accent on health as a human right,
emphasis on comparative analysis in healthcare studies, and the
formulation of a four-hallmark framework, embedded in economics,
law, politics, and human rights, to act as a guide for assessment
of healthcare reforms in Africa in particular, and Ghana more
specifically. Using Ghana as a case study and analytical window
into the world, the book offers a valuable and timely resource for
academics, students and policymakers across the disciplines of
development and healthcare economics, law, public policy, political
science, sociology, and African and Caribbean studies, as well as
in various fields in health science.
