  Elimination of trachoma as a public health problem in Ghana: Providing evidence through a pre-validation survey

  This article presents results from the survey to validate the elimination of trachoma in Ghana. The elimination criteria for active trachoma infection and trichiasis have been achieved in all but one district – Yendi – where trichiasis criteria were not met. The authors state that Ghana has nearly eliminated trachoma as a public health problem. Following an evaluation of Yendi, a dossier will be submitted to the World Health Organization to validate Ghana as having eliminated trachoma as a public health problem.

  Evaluation of a community-based hypertension improvement program (Com-HIP) in Ghana: Data from a baseline survey

  This paper presents the findings of a baseline survey on hypertension prevalence, awareness, treatment and control in Ghana. The findings indicate a high burden of hypertension and a very low level of treatment and control, despite a high level of awareness. These results suggest that current programs have failed to reduce hypertension and more innovative approaches should be considered to achieve meaningful hypertension control.
