In our recent Results Dissemination and Stakeholder engagement seminar, we presented findings from the study on “Digital Health Information Management in Healthcare System Strengthening in Ghana”. The Ghana Health Service, development partners as well as health facility managers and administrators from district and regional hospitals in the Greater Accra region participated in the seminar. During a discussion session, the participants affirmed the validity of the findings and supported the recommendations made by ReGIG to strengthen Ghana’s digital healthcare system. Subsequently, they suggested practical solutions for implementing these recommendations. The project team is grateful to all participants of the seminar, and looks forward to further collaborations.

We are pleased to announce our upcoming Results Dissemination and Stakeholder Engagement seminar dubbed, "Digital Health Information Management for Healthcare System Strengthening in Ghana". With funding obtained from the Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research (HPSR), we explored how the application of healthcare data generated from Digital Health Information Management System (DHIMS) and Lightwave Health Information Management System (LHIMS) accelerates decision-making and planning by primary healthcare givers. Participating organizations include WHO, Ministry of Health and Ghana Health Service, as well as representatives from 11 district and regional hospitals in Greater Accra. The purpose of the seminar is to communicate the research findings and discuss measures and strategies to enhance the digital health information management landscape in Ghana. Date: 20th September, 2024 Time: 9:00 AM GMT Join us online via Zoom to follow through with us; Meeting ID: 8347694413 Passcode: 344468

Exciting News from Nkwanta North and South Districts! We are thrilled to announce the formation of six peer support groups for individuals affected by skin Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) in Nkwanta North and South Districts in the Oti region of Ghana. This initiative, funded by ANESVAD Foundation, comes in response to the high rates of depression and anxiety caused by stigma and discrimination faced by individuals with skin NTDs. The groups, consisting of members ranging from 5 to 70 years old, provide a supportive environment for sharing experiences, emotional and psychological support, and discussing effective coping strategies. Each group is led by a dedicated three-member leadership team, ensuring structured and consistent support. The initial meetings have highlighted several key issues, including the community's high expectations for medical intervention, perceived causes of skin NTDs, and the existing healthcare-seeking behaviours. Additionally, the lack of access to clean drinking water and the need for improved healthcare services were identified as significant challenges. Despite these obstacles, the enthusiasm and hope within the groups are profound. The participants have expressed a strong desire for immediate interventions, regular monitoring, and ongoing community support to improve their quality of life. This initiative represents a significant step towards addressing the mental health and well-being of those affected by skin NTDs in the region. Let's join hands in supporting this vital initiative to improve the lives of our community members. Together, we can make a difference! #SkinNTDs #mentalhealth #ReGIG #ANESVADFoundation
