Dr. Patrick Kuma-Aboagye, the Director-General (DG) of the Ghana Health Service (GHS), says maternal health is not just about delivering a baby; the total well-being of the mother before, during, and after childbirth is key. "To achieve this, we need a multi-faceted approach that includes skilled care, access to essential services, and a supportive environment for both mother and child," he said. Dr. Kuma-Aboagye was speaking at the 2024 mid-year performance review meeting of the GHS in Bolgatanga, Upper East Region, on the theme: "Using Network of Practice to Drive Universal Access to Quality Maternal Healthcare in the Upper East Region." The meeting brought together District and Municipal Directors of the GHS, senior management members, Medical Superintendents across the region, development partners, and stakeholders to take stock of their performances and strategies to improve healthcare delivery. He said healthcare professionals could leverage the Network of Practice (NoP) to drive universal access to quality maternal healthcare in several ways, including knowledge sharing, where networks could facilitate the continuous exchange of knowledge and skills among healthcare professionals. "By bringing together professionals from various backgrounds, NoPs create a fertile ground for innovative solutions to emerge. "This is crucial in keeping our workforce updated with the latest maternal healthcare practices and innovations, thereby improving the quality of care provided. "If a particular approach to reducing maternal mortality is working well in one district, the Network of Practice can ensure it is rapidly adopted across all districts within the region and in other regions as well.
