Making community-based health planning and services work: Staffing, accountability and digital integration for quality primary health care in Northern Ghana

2026Open accessUniversity of Ghana

Abstract

CHPS zones show functionality but face challenges in staff capacity, training, and digital integration. Gaps in inclusivity and equipment provision limit effectiveness. Scaling-up training, strengthening human resources, improving basic equipment provision, and embedding GESI are essential to ensure CHPS zones deliver equitable, accountable, and quality services.
