Colonialism and international health: A study in social change in Ghana
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?
