Patterns and trends in antimalarial dispensing practices in Ghana: a retrospective analysis of outreach training and supportive supervision data (2018–2022)
Dispensing practices remained consistently low across regions and service delivery levels over the assessed years. However, CHPS compounds and health centres demonstrated comparatively better dispensing practices than higher-level facilities. Continuous investment in training, supervision, and resources is needed to ensure equitable improvements in dispensing practices.
