Abstract
This paper examines the role of colonial rule and of international agencies in developing modern health care in Ghana. Our purpose is to discuss processes in Ghanaian society in a way that will be relevant for comparison to other non-Western countries. What factors in colonialism supported the evolution of modern health care? What health measures were implemented to make the Gold-Coast-now Ghana-hospitable to colonialism? What roles do international agencies play in the continuing evolution of modern health care?
