The Dr Nana Gruer Health Initiative Ghana
Our Strategy
Our commitment is to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of "Ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages." Among the SDG targets, our primary focus is on "ending all preventable deaths under 5 years of age". We can also help "achieve universal health coverage" including "access to sexual and reproductive health-care services."
Aware of the national and local health priorities in Talensi and drawing on four years' project experience, Dr Nana’s main strategic aim for the period 2020-2023 is:
-
to enhance the capability of community health staff to deliver effective healthcare and preventive interventions.
The three main methods for doing this will be:
-
Supporting in-service training programmes for community health staff;
-
Renovating and improving community health buildings and providing essential infrastructure such as water and power supply and medical equipment;
-
Increasing the size and reliability of the District’s motorbike fleet.
To enable this to be done effectively, Dr Nana will:
-
Work in partnership with the Talensi District Health Service and Peal Deng NGO;
-
Seek funding for projects and administrative support from the UK Government, other funding bodies and individual donors;
-
Administer all available funds to achieve good value-for-money and with full financial transparency;
-
Carefully evaluate all projects so that useful lessons can be learnt and progress made.
