Our History

Health Access Network (A non-profit organization) established the Health Access Institute (HAI) to help solve the critical shortage of health workers in Ghana.

Since 2007, prior to the establishment of Health Access Institute, Health Access Network engaged in extensive discussions and activities related to the training of Health professionals.  With support and collaboration from World Health Organisation (WHO), the Ghana country office, the Christian Health Association of Ghana (CHAG) and the National Catholic Health Service (NCHS), these discussions led to the training of health professionals within the mission sector of Ghana Health system. Starting from the year 2010, these training programmes later translated into annual Technical Exchange Meetings (TEMS) among health professionals and relevant state agencies for the purpose of disseminating information and developing ideas.

Health Access Institute has since grown into a premier training facility that educates pharmaceutical support staff and provides qualified professionals to supplement the need for health support staff in the country. Here at HAN, we are still making history. Join us on the journey.

In 2012, the plan was made to establish HAI. Since then, an educational plan to from a three–tier level of education has become reality. Pre-tertiary certificate training with complementary Internships, tertiary programmes beginning with the Pharmacy Technician training and Continuous Professional Development for Pharmacists are our current focus.
