The Social Enterprise Development (SEND) foundation of Ghana, popularly known as SEND-Ghana, is calling on stakeholders to enhance quality healthcare in rural areas.
As part of its programmes, the non-governmental organisation has launched what it describes as the People for Health project to increase capacity of civil society groups to demand quality health care delivery from stakeholders.
According to the organisation, the situation is compounded by the realisation that the marginalised in society lack the requisite capacity to demand quality healthcare delivery.
SEND-Ghana’s five-year project will, therefore, help to increase the capacity of such individuals and other organisations to demand equity in the delivery of healthcare across the country.
Addressing the audience at the programme held in Accra on Friday August 26, the CEO of SEND-West Africa, Siapha Kamara, said: “The project will empower vulnerable people to be aware of their rights and help them with skills to gather evidence to show violation of those rights to pressure those who are supposed to provide those [health services].”
