Willingness to pay for digital care for NCD in Ghana: an exploratory study of three health facilities in Ghana
The study reveals a very high WTP for digital innovation in the treatment and management of hypertension and diabetes in Ghana. Given that Ghana's health system is underfunded, implementation of such digital innovations in delivering healthcare has the potential to enhance efficiency and improve healthcare outcomes. The study's overwhelming evidence of patients' WTP for digital innovations signals an opportunity for formulating public health policy regarding the scalability of the DRS platform.
