KDQD Khdo Wksuril OH

The document provides health data and statistics for Ghana from 1990 to 2010. It shows that the top causes of death for children under 5 are malaria, pneumonia, and diarrhea. The under-5 mortality rate has declined over time but remains higher than regional averages. It also outlines improvements in access to clean water and sanitation over time as well as increases in the utilization of health services, though inequities between rural/urban and rich/poor populations still exist.
