A value-based healthcare model

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are increasingly becoming the main cause of mortiality in sub-Saharan Africa. Hypertension is a significant NCD that can lead to cardiovascular diseases, strokes, and other serious health issues.
The prevalence of hypertension in Ghana is generally high and rising. Many people with hypertension are unaware of their condition and only a few are treated and controlled.

PharmAccess, the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), and the Christian Health Association Ghana (CHAG) are collaborating on a new project to improve hypertension care in Ghana. The project focuses on developing and testing a value-based healthcare model.

A value-based healthcare model is an approach that aims to achieve patient-important outcomes at optimal costs. This means that all stakeholders, including patients, healthcare providers, and payers, collaborate to enhance patient care and control costs.
