Technical efficiency of ghanaian health facilities before and during the COVID-19 pandemic
Based on the findings, it will be essential to examine factors that accounted for efficiency improvements in some health facilities, to enable health facilities lagging behind to learn from those on the efficiency frontier. In addition, the findings emphasise the need for CHAG to work with health facility managers to optimise inputs allocation through a redistribution of staff. Most importantly, the findings are suggestive of the resilience of CHAG health facilities in responding to a health shock such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
