THE GHANAIAN PERSPECTIVE ON THE LINK BETWEEN PUBLIC HEALTH AND EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT IN THE POST-COVID-19 ERA
Abstract
The paper explores the relationship between health and educational advancement in Ghana following the COVID-19 pandemic. Issues such as inequalities in opportunities, economic impacts, the importance of improved public health facilities, and challenges during the country’s recovery period are examined. Through a method and the Social Determinants of Health (SDH) framework, it discusses limitations in resources, disparities in healthcare access, the need for coordinated recovery strategies, and changes in public health education approaches. It underscores how public health and education development are intertwined, recommending policies that support fairness, tackle factors, and incorporate technology into education. By shedding light on Ghana’s challenges post-COVID-19, this study aids in understanding the situation and emphasizes the significance of taking a holistic approach to strengthening both healthcare and educational systems in the nation.
