This paper analyzes the effect of quality and accessibility of health services and other public infrastructure on the health of children in Ghana. We focus on child survival, child height and weight using data from the Ghana Living Standards Survey. The results suggest an important role for public health policy in eliminating the rural-urban disparities in health status and particularly in improving the health status of rural children and reducing their mortality rates. Increased availability of birth services and other related child programs, as well as Improved water and sanitation infrastructure would have an immediate payoff.
本文分析了加纳卫生服务及其他公共基础设施的质量和可及性对儿童健康的影响。我们利用加纳生活水平调查的数据，重点关注儿童生存、身高和体重情况。结果表明，公共卫生政策在消除城乡健康状况差距方面，特别是在改善农村儿童健康状况和降低其死亡率方面发挥着重要作用。增加分娩服务及其他相关儿童项目的可及性，以及改善水和卫生基础设施将立即产生成效。
