Results imply that although children with IDD in Ghana might be affected by several health conditions, they confront complex structural and psychosocial barriers in accessing healthcare which undermines Ghana’s commitment on the international front to provide equitable access to healthcare for all. Barriers include financial means, social connections, access to transportation, and attitudes of healthcare providers and the general public toward children with IDD.enHEALTH-CARE DELIVERYHEALTH-CARE BARRIERSCHILD HEALTHDISABILITYACCESS TO HEALTH CARECHILD DEVELOPMENTGHANASOUTH OF SAHARASOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTHAbstract
