Health is very important to the development of every country.

 In Ghana, many people depend on public health facilities for medical care.

 However, the health service still faces some problems which make it difficult for people to receive good and quick treatment and even lose their lives when it becomes complicated.

The government must therefore take steps to improve the health service and make it better for everyone.

 One major problem is the insufficient health workers in many hospitals and clinics especially in rural areas.

 Some hospitals also lack doctors, nurses, medicines and important equipment for surgeries and others.

 The government should employ more qualified workers with better working conditions to encouraged them to work in all parts of the country.

Also the government should ensure Medical authorities follows the rules and regulations, avoid employing unqualified workers through bribery and nepotism to avoid future problems such as endangering patient’s lives.

 Another problem is the poor condition of some health facilities.

 Some hospitals and clinics need more facilities, beds, clean water, electricity and modern equipment.

The government should provide enough funding or collaborate with private companies to through public private partnership (PPP) to raise more funds to repair old and build new facilities at needful communities.

 This will avoid or reduce sudden death rate and complications on the patients.

The high cost of medical treatment and the long waiting time at some hospitals.

 The government should strengthen the National health insurance scheme so that more people can receive treatment without financial difficulties and private health facilities.

Hospitals should improve their systems to reduce long queues, delays and attend to emergency cases immediately to avoid any complications or sudden deaths.

When the government takes these steps seriously, the people will enjoy better health care and the country will develop faster.
