Who We Are
In 1999, Ghana adopted the Community-based Health Planning and Service (CHPS) policy to enhance access to primary health care (PHC). However, after over two decades of implementation, significant portions of the population, particularly in rural areas, still
lack access to basic healthcare services. In Ghana, CHPS operates alongside other health equity policies such as the pro-poor national health insurance program. Despite these efforts, access to healthcare remains disproportionately low relative to their needs.
Rural communities face numerous barriers, including poor transportation networks, long distances to health facilities, inadequate healthcare professionals, and even unethical practices like intimidation by healthcare providers.
Our Mission
The RealGH Foundation LBG is a registered NGO in Ghana dedicated to improving the quality of life for all Ghanaians, particularly those in Asebu, Elmina, and surrounding communities. Our mission focuses on enhancing access to healthcare, raising awareness about critical health issues, and addressing systemic barriers to ensure equitable and sustainable health outcomes for all.
