Ghana Health Nest (ghanahealthnest.com) is a not-for-profit and independent health media and knowledge platform advancing public health literacy, evidence-based storytelling, and community-centred advocacy in Ghana and across Africa.
Founded in 2012, GhanaHealthNest was established to address persistent gaps in health information, public understanding, and ethical health communication. The platform responds to the growing need for credible, locally grounded, and accessible health content in an increasingly complex information environment shaped by misinformation, inequality, and evolving public health challenges.
Our Purpose
We exist to strengthen public understanding of health issues by translating evidence, policy, and lived experience into clear, trustworthy, and human-centred narratives that inform decision-making, support advocacy, and promote healthier communities.
What We Do
GhanaHealthNest operates as a multi-functional platform at the intersection of health, media, and public education, with work spanning four core areas:
Health Media & Storytelling
We produce high-quality health journalism, features, explainers, and documentary storytelling that centre accuracy, ethics, and community relevance.
Health Literacy & Public Education
We develop accessible content and campaigns that support informed health choices, reduce stigma—particularly around mental health—and improve public understanding of health systems and policies.
Research Translation & Misinformation Response
We support the interpretation and dissemination of health research and public health data, while actively contributing to efforts that counter health misinformation and disinformation.
Capacity Building & Partnerships
We collaborate with institutions, civil society organisations, and development partners to support health communication, training, documentation, and impact-driven storytelling.
Our Approach
Our work is guided by the following principles:
