SOME COLLABORATED RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS IN GHANA

National Health Research Unit

The government of Ghana has for a long time sup-ported health research activities in the country. This support is based on the recognition that health is vital to social and economic development and that re-search can contribute to improving health status.

However, before this growing recognition of the need to utilise research to guide policy and action, the Ministry of Health (MOH) as an institution, con-ducted very little research on its own. The MOH had instead limited its role to service delivery with little or no systematic attention to research activities.
