From Planning to Impact
GHSI's pilot will operate across six screening sites in the Greater Accra region, including major transport hubs and church-based community health fairs. The pilot launches December 2026, with 12-month patient follow-up through a purpose-built digital tracking system.
Exact locations across Greater Accra will be announced closer to launch.
Three Lorry Park Screenings
Community-based blood pressure screening events at major transport hubs where trotro drivers and market women converge, the heart of the transport hub ecosystem.
Three Church-Based Health Fairs
Hypertension resource fairs at church communities, leveraging trusted parish networks and existing congregational gatherings to reach additional populations.
12-Month Closed-Loop Follow-Up
Every participant identified with elevated blood pressure will be tracked at Days 14, 30, 90, 180, and 365, measuring who connects to care and whose outcomes improve.
Pilot Timeline
What Comes After the Pilot
The December 2026 pilot is not a one-time event. It is the structured test of GHSI's closed-loop follow-up model across six Greater Accra sites, with 12 months of follow-up at days 14, 30, 90, 180, and 365.
What the pilot proves is whether the model holds. What comes after is what the model enables.
Post-pilot, GHSI's focus shifts from running screening events to embedding the follow-up model into partner-led programs aligned with Ghana's Free Primary Healthcare Programme. Screening is the entry point. The mission is everything that happens after a person learns their blood pressure is high.
We are building toward three things:
- A licensable closed-loop follow-up curriculum that trained partners can deliver, so the model travels without GHSI staff on every site.
- Embedded continuity-of-care support within FPHC-aligned community and institutional networks.
- Longitudinal outcome data (retention, control, and loss-to-follow-up at 30, 90, 180, and 365 days) that informs national hypertension policy.
GHSI's long-term value is not how many people we screen. It is how many stay alive on treatment because the system held.
Fund the Staying
Hypertension is detected in seconds. Care continues for years. Your contribution funds the systems that ensure a blood pressure diagnosis leads to care, retention, and control: twelve months of structured follow-up, training and supervision for community health workers, and the data discipline that turns each screening into outcomes evidence.
When you give to GHSI, you fund the staying.
