It is not your government only, but your lifestyles, beliefs and culture. Ghana is full of evil influence from Europe and is fooled to think that the ways of their oppressors are their own ways!!! There seems to be nothing one can do to convince them otherwise, hence they suffer.

No economy will survive modernity and progress when everyone depends on the government to do something to help the helpless.
The onus of good healthcare and its maintenance depends on the individual, not the government. Play with your healthcare, or health maintenance and you will be dead. You won't even be around to argue your case in court.
Eating balanced meals, exercise, good ventilation, adequate sunshine, good hydration, and periodic check-ups for health maintenance will help many to continue enjoying good health for many years to come.
Bad habits like smoking, drinking, and eating late suppers can be stopped through encouragement from local support groups, or even a phone buddies network. The buddy support group is also a good way to start exercising.
The ambulance and lack of trained paramedics someone mentioned are important, too. But does the government have to provide paramedics and ambulance in every city? No, private companies can run ambulances and use their own paramedics to attend to the sick en route to the hospital. Of greater concern, is the poor address system in Ghana-- streets without names and houses without numbers. How does the ambulance driver know where to go to pick up the sick? It is a responsibility of local governments to make sure that houses have numbers and streets have names.
Modernity and progress may be shared by governments and the citizenry, but the onus of health maintenance belongs to the individual citizen.

Your assertion is very good and helpful.I support all that you said.
But the government should help in updating and equipping the hospitals with cutting-edge,top-notch,innovative equipment that save lives,rather than the out-dated ones that cannot.
If they can afford paying unnecessary judgement debts,spending our money recklessly,and politicians riding in US$130,000 CARS,why can't they do this to revamp the state of our hospitals?
THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE WELFARE OF HER CITIZENRY,PERIOD.
If it cares,then why should TOBINCO,supply fake medications to the same government,who is supposed to care about the health and safety of her citizenry?
And unfortunately,the poor and the needy are those that attend these government hospitals,for affordability sake.
THEREFORE,THEY ARE THE VICTIMS OF THESE FAKE MEDICATIONS INTAKE.
ISN'T THAT SAD.MY BROTHER?
In GHANA,the majority are the poor too.

what is the category of people/populate who come with cardiovascular problems? their socioeconomic stature and other determinants.people of high socioeconomic stature should be given intense education to subsequently give education to their immediate families on the risks of non-exercise.most people are influenced by stigma against the slim as attributions are that they are suffering from STIs,and therefore would eat food that would stimulate weight-gain.we need to re3vamp and train more people on nutrition and dietary management to curtail this eminent situation. The main cause I think, is lifestyle.This is an emergency.

The problem with us Ghanaians is that we think that anything foreign (especially if it is from the White man's world) is better than what we have at home. We blindly copy everything without stopping to consider whether or not it is good for us. Ghana is blessed with a variety of healthy local dishes. If we eat these foods in moderation and spend more time walking instead of sitting in cars and SUVs, we may not see this increase in cardiovascular deaths.

Civilization foods are worsening the problems of unballanced native cooking. Too much sugar, salt and fat/oil and caffein kill quickly.
1. Sugar: A can or a small bottle of any pop/soft/soda drink has about 10 tablespoonfulls of sugar. If you want to avoid diabetes, a racing heart, sleeplessness, depression and pannic attacks, then stop taking those Obroni drinks today.
2. Salt: Corned beef, ham and any type of processed meat contains a large amount of salt. Salt increases the water/fluid volume in your body. This exerts pressure on the sides of your blood vessels, and your blood pressure rises. Excess pressure in any container tries to find a way out. So the high pressure of your blood, in its natural attempt to get out, breaks a tiny blood vessel in your brain giving you a stroke.
3. Fats and Oils: All meats (beef, pork, mutton)have saturated fat, the worst type of fat. Behold! oils from any type of palm tree, be it palm oil, palmnut oil or coconut oil are also saturated and just as bad. The danger of oils is easy to explain: Oil, in other words, liquid fat, thikens the blood. The thicker blood exerts greater pressure on the side walls of the blood vessels thereby increasing your blood pressure. The high blood pressure, in turn, breaks a blood vessel in your brain and gives you a stroke. Secondly, because your blood is now thicker and heavier, your heart has to work harder to push it around your body. The harder pushing heart, in turn, increases your blood pressure. The overworking heart eventually damages itself and just gives up.
4. Caffein is found in coffee, tea, and all cocoa products such as chocolate, Ovaltine, Millo, etc. Caffein is a "stimulant" simply because it "stimulates" the heart to beat faster. When that happens, of course, your blood pressure goes up accordingly, leading to the consequences described above. But the heart, the lungs and the brain are very close friends and always want to work together. Once the heart is set in rapid motion by caffein, the lungs join, inducind inadequate quicker, shallower breathing. The brain starts firing at lightening speed. All your major systems are now in overdrive. The consequences: insomnia or sleeplessness, ansxiety, panick attack, depression, suicidal thoughts, stroke, and sudden death.
If you are guilty of any of the 4 items above, or, worse, any combination of them, take corrective action immediately. If you don't correct your self-destructive eating habits today, start making arrangements for your funeral. Be wise.
