Tema Metropolitan
TEMA METROPOLITAN i Copyright © 2014 Ghana Statistical Service ii PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT No meaningful developmental activity can be undertaken without taking into account the characteristics of the population for whom the activity is targeted. The size of the population and its spatial distribution, growth and change over time, in addition to its socio-economic characteristics are all important in development planning. A population census is the most important source of data on the size, composition, growth and distribution of a country’s population at the national and sub-national levels. Data from the 2010 Population and Housing Census (PHC) will serve as reference for equitable distribution of national resources and government services, including the allocation of government funds among various regions, districts and other sub-national populations to education, health and other social services. The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) is delighted to provide data users, especially the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies, with district-level analytical reports based on the 2010 PHC data to facilitate their planning and decision-making. The District Analytical Report for the Tema Metropolitan is one of the 216 district census reports aimed at making data available to planners and decision makers at the district level. In addition to presenting the district profile, the report discusses the social and economic dimensions of demographic variables and their implications for policy formulation, planning and interventions. The conclusions and recommendations drawn from the district report are expected to serve as a basis for improving the quality of life of Ghanaians through evidence- based decision-making, monitoring and evaluation of developmental goals and intervention programmes. -

Studies on the Terrestrial Background Gamma Radiation in and Around the Metropolitan Area of Accra Part 1: Radioactivity in Soils and Rocks
GH9800012 TECHNICAL REPORT, 1996/97 STUDIES ON THE TERRESTRIAL BACKGROUND GAMMA RADIATION IN AND AROUND THE METROPOLITAN AREA OF ACCRA PART 1: RADIOACTIVITY IN SOILS AND ROCKS J. Yeboah, Mary. Assiamah, E. O. Darko RADIATION PROTECTION BOARD GHANA ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION BOX 80, LEGON, ACCRA. NEXT PAOE(S) I left BLANK STUDIES ON THE TERRESTRIAL BACKGROUND GAMMA RADIATION IN AND AROUND THE METROPOLITAN AREA OF ACCRA PART 1: RADIOACTIVITY IN SOILS AND ROCKS J. Yeboah, Mary Assiamah, E. O. Darko RPB/GAEC P.O.Box 80 Legon. ABSTRACT A preliminary study of soil and rock samples from selected locations within the Accra Metropolis and its immediate hinterlands has been conducted to determine the concentration of naturally occurring radionuclides and the exposure to the population. Representative areas were selected based on the geology and population density. The results so far obtained indicate. that the exposure of the population living in the vicinity to naturally occurring radionuclides of potassium-40, the uranium-238 and thorium-232 series is quite significant compared with natural radioactivity levels in soils and rocks reported by a number of researchers. The highest concentration of radionuclides in soil and rock were recorded in samples from Dodowa with the lowest concentration in soils from Shai Hills and rocks from Weija. INTRODUCTION Man is exposed to ionizing radiation from a number of sources, namely; cosmic rays and naturally occurring radionuclides which are always present in the environment, and man-made sources due to human activities. Natural radiation sources include cosmic radiation and radiation from natural radionuclides in the soil and atmosphere; the latter constitute external as well as internal sources of exposure through intake of radionuclides by the body. -
Health Care and Infrastructure in Accra, Ghana
Health Care and Infrastructure in Accra, Ghana Jennifer L. Pehr Advanced Issues in Urban Planning 27 April 2010 Page 1 of 21 Introduction Ghana, located in West Africa, was the first of the colonized countries in Africa to declare its independence. Accra is Ghana‟s capital city, and serves as the geographic and economic gateway to this region. The city‟s diverse economy is home to both local and regional traders as well as many international companies. Since its independence, Accra‟s population has increased rapidly. In 1957, the city had a population of approximately 190,000 (Grant &Yankson, 2003); today, the city‟s population is estimated to be over three million (Millennium Cities Initiative website). Accra experienced a period of rapid spatial expansion in the 1980s, and has been urbanizing rapidly ever since. Much of the city‟s growth has not been planned, and as a result, Accra‟s spatial expansion in recent years has occurred in some of the poorest areas of the city. This unfettered and unplanned growth has had severe implications for the population of Accra, and is most pronounced in the lack of basic urban infrastructure, including water and sanitation, transportation, education and health care in many parts of the city. In January 2010, Accra partnered with the Millennium Cities Initiative (MCI) to become a “Millennium City.” MCI works with underserved urban areas in sub-Saharan Africa to help them eradicate extreme poverty and to attain the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) (MCI website). To fully realize a city‟s social and economic potential, needs assessments are conducted in many areas, including education, gender, water and sanitation, health and opportunities for economic development and foreign direct investment. -
Socioeconomic and Demographic Factors Associated with Caesarean
Manyeh et al. BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth (2018) 18:405 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12884-018-2039-z RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Socioeconomic and demographic factors associated with caesarean section delivery in Southern Ghana: evidence from INDEPTH Network member site Alfred Kwesi Manyeh1,2* , Alberta Amu1,3, David Etsey Akpakli1,3, John Williams1,3 and Margarete Gyapong1,4 Abstract Background: In recent years, caesarean section rates continue to evoke worldwide concern because of their steady increase, lack of consensus on the appropriate caesarean section rate and the associated short- and long-term risks. This study sought to identify the rate of caesarean section and associated factors in two districts in rural southern Ghana. Methods: Pregnancy, birth, and socio-demographic information of 4948 women who gave birth between 2011 and 2013 were obtained from the database of Dodowa Health and DemographicSurveillanceSystem.TherateofC-sectionwas determined and the associations between independent and dependent variables were explored using logistic regression. TheanalysesweredoneinSTATA14.2 at 95% confidence interval. Results: The overall C-section rate for the study period was 6.59%. Women aged 30–34 years were more than twice likely to have C-section compared to those < 20 year (OR: 2.16, 95% CI: 1.20–3.90). However, women aged 34 years and above were more than thrice likely to undergo C-section compared to those < 20 year (OR: 3.73, 95% CI: 1.45–5.17). The odds of having C-section was 65 and 79% higher for participants with Primary and Junior High level schooling respectively (OR: 1.65, 95% CI: 1.08–2.51, OR:1.79, 95%CI: 1.19–2.70). -

For instance, on June 3rd 2015, heavy rains caused flooding that impacted many parts of the Greater Accra Region. Over 200 people lost their lives, many were displaced and a number of properties destroyed. ü In addition to this, are the costs of disrupted livelihoods and economic activities coupled with health risks brought about by the floods.
