Facts
In the last several years, Ghana has passed several
crucial health policies and created various commissions
in order to administer and monitor health
needs and services. Despite their efforts, they are
faced with challenges that exceed their present capabilities.
That is why we, Investigroup NP, have
made it our mission to assist underprivileged countries,
such as Ghana, to improve health care and
quality of life for these communities.
The statistics below demonstrate how serious an
issue health care and medical practices are in
Ghana, and why it is necessary for Investigroup NP
to help the people in this nation, and other countries
worldwide.
