Others are Mr. D. K. Opare, the District Environmental Health Officer, Akwapim South, the health personnel at the Buruli Ulcer Dressing Centre at Pakro and the staff of the Disease Control Unit of the Ministry of Health, Nsawam. I am also thankful to Mr. Ebenezer Ntiri for his immense assistance during the fieldwork at Buokrom.

My sincerest thanks also go to Dr. R. Koffie of the Council for Scientific and Industrial research Institute (CSIR), Accra, for his pieces of advise. University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh Abstract This study is about the spatial patterns of the Mycobacterium ulcerans infections (Buruli ulcer) in the Akwapim South district. The Triangle of Human Ecology model was used to account for the observed spatial patterns of the disease. The spatial distribution of the disease was mapped through the residential addresses of the patients as shown in the district medical records. The endemic communities were stratified into three segments namely the high, low and non­ endemic areas or zones. The settlements for the study were then randomly selected from each stratum. This was proceeded by the selection of the target population according to the research objectives. Primary data were collected from three sources namely the household heads, Buruli ulcer patients and the health personnel (including the District Director of Health Services). Besides this, direct personal observation of the natural environment as well as interviews with certain individuals yielded primary information this study. The study looked out for the magnitude of the problem, the underlying factors of the spatial patterns and the socio-economic impact on the populace. Children were found to be more vulnerable to infection than adults. Thus prevalence decreased with age with an overall slight female predominance in incidence. It was further discovered that the quality of the natural environment to a very large extent influenced the spatial variations of the disease. It was more prevalent along watercourses and low-lying areas but non-existent on high grounds with better drainage. This confirms the research proposition and findings elsewhere that the disease is more prevalent along water bodies. University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh Low patronage of health care facilities influenced by the socio-economic status of the respondents and the skewed distribution of such facilities was observed to have contributed to the incidence of the disease in the communities. For it is believed that accessing a health facility for advice earlier could have lessened the scourge. Restricted access to health facilities thus varies from place to place and this reflects in the spatial patterns of the disease. The disease, it was discovered had adversely affected the socio-economic lives of the patients themselves and their families due to prolonged treatment. This supports the fact by some scholars that prolonged treatment or hospitalization can bring untold hardships to both patients and their families. Efforts by the health authorities in the district to check the spread of the disease were thwarted resource constraints. The study concludes that the disease is a socio-economic problem, thus recommendations have been made, which if implemented will reduce incidence in the future.

  • The Composite Budget of the Akwapim South District Assembly for the 2016
    REPUBLIC OF GHANA THE COMPOSITE BUDGET OF THE AKWAPIM SOUTH DISTRICT ASSEMBLY FOR THE 2016 FISCAL YEAR 1 1.0 Background The Akwapim South District was carved out of the then Akwapim South Municipality, now Nsawam Adoagiri Municipality in June, 2012 by a Legislative Instrument 2040. It has Aburi as its administrative District Capital which is the second highest habitable town in Ghana. The District is the first district along the Akuapem Ridge of the Eastern part of Ghana 1.1 Population Size and Distribution The 2010 Population and Housing Census put the total population of the district at 37,501 which accounts for about 1.4 percent of the population in the Eastern region. Out of this figure, 48.5 percent are males with 51.5 percent being females. The district has a population growth rate of 3.8 and death rate of 9.5 per 1000 people per annum According to the 2010 Population and Housing Census, the District has about three-quarters (73.4%) of its population residing at rural areas as against 26.6% in the urban set up. This implies, the district is rural in nature and therefore faces myriad of challenges of inadequate social infrastructure and amenities as any rural area in Ghana. 1.2 District Economy 1.2.1 Agriculture The main economic activity in the District is Agriculture. The Climate conditions favour production of variety of crops such as Maize, Cassava, Yam and Vegetables including Tomato, Pepper, Garden Eggs, Okro and Cabbage. Tree crops such as Cocoa, Citrus and Oil Palm are also grown in the District.

  • Akwapim South District
    AKWAPIM SOUTH DISTRICT Copyright © 2014 Ghana Statistical Service i 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 Akwapim South District 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.
