The Dodowa  Health Research Centre (DHRC) has been very vital and its  continuous existence has been very relevant in terms of  its research activities, to Ghana as a country, and  the international community as a whole.
In line with the 5 year program of work of the Ghana Health service and in line with the strategic Objectives of the Health service, the objectives of the centre are:

  • To take part in identifying and carrying out priority research to help address policy planning and implementation needs of the GHS.
  • To build multi disciplinary capacity within the research centre to provide technical support and conduct Implementation Research 
  • To build capacity in finding effective solutions and implementation alternatives to identified need and problems.
  • To disseminate results of research findings to key people, policy makers and anyone responsible for health care in a meaningful way.
  • To generate data that will assist in the monitoring of progress towards achieving the MDG’s.

Our priorities for this period are to

  •  Build on the platform we have developed for the effectiveness and safety studies
  • Publish as much data as possible
  • Write new proposals in relevant areas
  • Continue to build individual and institutional capacity
  • Begin work on Monitoring and Evaluating the impact of the ILO Global Social Trust conditional cash transfer pilot in Dangme West
  • Use of RDT at the community level (Chemical Shops)
  • Initiate the creation of a platform for Phase 4 Effectiveness and Safety Studies
  • Take a closer look at the data we have collected over the years through the Demographic and Health Surveillance System focusing on cause of death and trends for planning towards meeting Millenium Development Goals.
  • Engage more with the district health team and District Assembly

The centre has been progressing very well in other areas of research, we achieved our priorities and in addition
