Abstract

The increasing prevalence of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) related deaths in Ghana have become a general concern for both researchers and policy actors. As a measure to lowering NCDs deaths incidence, this paper provides an integrated approach to NCDs prevention emphasizing the need for a public-private approach to fighting this health menace. The review indicates that a consensual goal-oriented actions and guidelines between international agencies, state actors and Coalition of Non-governmental organization for Health (CNGO) is the drive to eradicating the incidence of NCDs in Ghana. In conclusion, the paper advocate that PPP approach should be built on a multicultural and resilient action plans in order to win the fight against the high prevalence of NCDs which is inadvertently causing high level of mortality in Ghana and beyond.
