Ghana has a constrained health system, with a population of about 30 million, and an estimated 1.1 medical doctors and 27.1 nurses and midwives per 10,000 population. According to data from the WHO, there is 1 doctor for every 5,000 people in Africa in 2015. The population in Africa in 2020 amounted to 1,331,396,559 people.
