Ghana is emerging as a model for quality-driven healthcare in Africa, thanks to a partnership between SafeCare and the Christian Health Association of Ghana (CHAG). The collaboration is helping faith-based hospitals and clinics across the country improve patient care, safety and operational efficiency \u2013 and its success is now being replicated in Kenya and Tanzania.<\/p>\n

\"SafeCare,<\/figure>\n

Speaking at a ceremony in Accra marking the handover of the SafeCare programme from PharmAccess Ghana to CHAG, Director of SafeCare International, Roelinde Bakker praised CHAG\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n

According him, Ghana\u2019s progress is a shining example of how strong partnerships and consistent quality improvement can transform healthcare delivery.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe progress in Ghana is a shining example, inspiring our partnerships with faith-based organizations in Kenya with Catholic Relief Services and in Tanzania with the Christian Social Services Commission. Your leadership has been instrumental in strengthening SafeCare\u2019s presence and growth in Ghana, and this success belongs to all the facilities that have embraced the SafeCare journey,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\"SafeCare,<\/figure>\n

SafeCare, which now operates in 25 countries with 39 partners across Africa and Asia, works to make healthcare measurable, accountable, and sustainable. In Ghana, it introduced the \u201cpaying for quality\u201d model, linking financial incentives to measurable improvements in patient care.<\/p>\n

\"SafeCare,<\/figure>\n

The programme focuses on continuous quality improvement, patient safety, and professional training. Facilities such as St. James Clinic and Holy Family Catholic Hospital in Sunyani have become flagship examples of the impact, showing improvements in patient care, adherence to safety protocols, and overall efficiency.<\/p>\n

\"SafeCare,<\/figure>\n

\u201cYour hard work and commitment are an inspiration, not just to us, but to other countries where SafeCare is active,\u201d Bakker added. During her visit to these hospitals, she commended local healthcare professionals for their dedication. \u201cIt takes time, effort, and belief \u2013 but the progress is real and visible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"SafeCare,<\/figure>\n

With CHAG\u2019s leadership and SafeCare\u2019s technical support, Ghana\u2019s faith-based healthcare network is fast becoming a continental model for quality-driven, patient-centered care \u2013 a system other African countries are eager to replicate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
