Improving health care access for all Ghanaians
Leadership
The Christian Health Association of Ghana (CHAG), as an implementing partner of the Ministry of Health, remains dedicated to the healing ministry of Jesus Christ. We serve over 8 million people annually, primarily in rural and marginalized communities, guided by stewardship, accountability, and innovation.
Our legacy includes pioneering the community-based health insurance that shaped the National Health Insurance Scheme and implementing the SafeCare program to establish Centres of Excellence. With 373 member institutions, we are the largest non-state actor in Ghana’s health sector, significantly boosting national health outcomes through professional training and system strengthening.
From leading COVID-19 responses to strengthening community systems for HIV and TB, CHAG proactively tackles emerging challenges. While funding gaps remain, our new five-year strategic plan offers a clear roadmap for sustainable impact.
We invite your partnership, support, and prayers as we advance Universal Health Coverage and bring hope to the underserved across Ghana.

Our Health Research Unit, established five years ago, aims to address knowledge gaps to improve health systems. We mine insights from amassed data, document good practices, and collaborate with external research institutions.
Our Institutional Review Board (IRB) was established in 2018 to provide ethical clearance for all research. In 2023, it saw a 1300% increase in protocols, approving 108 studies, including biomedical and social research.
Our annual reports provide full transparency on our network's performance. They detail key service delivery stats, like OPD visits, and track vital health indicators, such as our best-ever Maternal Mortality Ratio
