GHS commends CHAG for delivering healthcare to hardest-to-reach areas
The Ghana Health Service (GHS) commended the Christian Health Association of Ghana (CHAG) for its longstanding commitment to delivering healthcare in some of the most remote and underserved communities, describing the association as an indispensable partner in expanding access to quality healthcare. Speaking at the opening of the 2026 CHAG Annual Conference in Koforidua, Deputy Director-General of the Ghana Health Service, Dr. Caroline Reindorf Amissah, said CHAG continues to provide essential health services in communities where many healthcare providers find it difficult to operate. She stated, "They serve communities that many others struggle to reach. They provide healthcare to some of the country's most vulnerable populations, often in places where access remains difficult."
Dr. Reindorf Amissah noted that CHAG's nationwide network of hospitals, clinics, health training institutions, and community-based services has become a vital part of Ghana's health system, particularly in rural communities where healthcare infrastructure is limited. She added that CHAG's work is increasingly gaining national recognition, attracting new partnerships and investments aimed at improving healthcare delivery in underserved communities. Dr. Reindorf Amissah said, "It is encouraging that this contribution is increasingly receiving the recognition it deserves, attracting more support and more partners who are helping ensure quality healthcare reaches people where they live."
