National Health Insurance (Ghana) and this article are short, both should be combined here.--

I think this is not necessary rather the article on health in Ghana should rather be revised with more added. The article on National Health Insurance (Ghana) is a very good one and must be kept separate.

frankly, i do not see the need to put this in the article since there is no clear link to the topic. Rather i suggest you start an article on water and sanitation in Ghana. Crosstemplejay 23:53, 6 April 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crosstemplejay ( talk • contribs)
I agree that it does seem out of place in the way it is currently written. However, I believe water and sanitation is very relevant as it affects health and the prevalence of diarrhea caused by parasites and other microbes in Ghana. Perhaps changing subheading1 to "Community Health" and having "Sanitation" and "Water Supply" as subheadings2 under the larger "Community Health" heading would make those topics more cohesive in the article. Also a discussion of geographical, financial, and political constrains to community health in Ghana would be appropriate here. Distinguishing between urban and suburban areas in this discussion is also necessary. Daisymartin ( talk) 00:57, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi Sadads, I have responded to your request. I have expanded the article with the heading National Health Insurance Scheme. Since the main article is a page i started, i don't mind added it to your page to enrich it. Crosstemplejay 00:38, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
The lead of this article talks about HIV/AIDS and malaria as key health issues, yet the later gets no coverage beyond the lead. At the same time less notable issues such as breast cancer get large sections devoted to them.-- Shakehandsman ( talk) 06:25, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Wiki community! The following are proposed changes I would like to make to the article; please feel free to give me any feedback you have on my intentions and/or sources.
The "Disease" heading is severely lacking in description of diseases other than HIV/AIDS, so this reference would add information about the types of cancers common in Ghana and their percentage of occurrence in males and females; it would mostly give a broader overview of what is occurring and the specific statistics. [1]
Adding to the "Disease" heading, this reference would contribute to the "Cancer" subheading, specifically under cervical cancer. The information in the reference would describe the statistics of those affected by cervical cancer and to describe the epidemiology of cervical cancer in Ghana as a whole, although the data was taken specifically from Accra. More specifically, it will contribute information and statistics for cancer prevention. [2]
This reference would contribute to the "Disease" heading under the new subheading of "Cancer", specifically breast cancer. The information used would specify its origins in Kumasi, but would be used to classify possible treatments and preventative measures that exist and are used to battle breast cancer, such as adjuvant therapy and hormone status evaluation.
