Following Ghana’s independence in 1957, the country introduced a tax-funded healthcare system that provided free public healthcare services, similar to the National Health Service (NHS) in the United Kingdom. However, over the following decades, the system became increasingly financially unsustainable, leading to the introduction of healthcare charges in the 1970s.
