Resumen
Descripción
This report is focusing on the
implementation of Networks of Practice (NoP) to improve
primary healthcare delivery. The report highlights the need
for a comprehensive mapping approach to configure new NoPs,
prioritizing the upgrading of network hubs to reorient
patient pathways and decongest hospitals. It emphasizes
investing in human resources at primary care facilities to
improve patient-provider interactions and strengthen the
quality of care, especially in network hubs. The report also
recommends improving NoP maintenance efforts, building
capacity on patient referrals, and promoting health equity
through increased awareness, community engagement, and
financial protection. Additionally, it suggests designing
effective urban NoPs to address the unique challenges of
urban healthcare delivery. The report concludes that these
recommendations aim to enhance healthcare delivery and
outcomes through a successful NoP program, ultimately
contributing to a more resilient health system in Ghana
