This thesis has explored the implementation of the primary health care strategy in Ghana, focusing on the Maternal Child Health program, one of main components of the strategy and the program that seems to have been most widely implemented in the country. / The analysis has been concerned primarily with identifying the obstacles to the implementation of this strategy in rural areas of the country, where levels of utilization and participation have been found to be lower than what was hoped for by the government. It does this by using data collected through in-depth interviews and participant observation in three rural villages of the country. / The findings reveal that a complex range of interrelated factors influence or deter women from utilizing and participating in the MCH program.
