These guidelines for the prevention and management of cardiovascular diseases are a critical  ingredient  for  streamlining  care  across  the  entire  health  services  provision  continuum.  They  are  a  strategic  component  in  achieving  universal  health  coverage,  securing  affordable  heal...th  care  and  improving  the  livelihood  of  all  Kenyans  which  in  turn  will  guarantee  a  healthy  nation  working  towards  sustainable  development  and  prosperity.These guidelines bring to the fore the need for availability of skilled human resource, sustained  adequate  funding  and  partnership  building  at  all  levels  of  governance.  It  provides  clear  roles  for  health  workers  at  the  different  levels  of  our  devolved  system  which  will  ensure  a  harmonized  referral  system  with  basic  cardiovascular  diseases  treatment services available closest to the people while decongesting the county and national referral facilities.

In 2006, the Ghana Health Service (GHS) also developed the Health Care Waste Management Policy and Guidelines as ...a single document.
Although awareness on Health Care Waste Management (HCWM) has improved in recent years, there is the need for a systematic approach to improve on effective segregation, safe collection, and storage, as well as ultimate treatment before disposal.
This guideline seeks to ensure that HCW is managed effectively in compliance with existing International Conventions that Ghana is a signatory to, national laws and regulations, and others to be passed in future.
Recommendations for better management of HCW in the nation's health care facilities have been presented in this document. Also, standard operating procedures (SOPs) have been developed to provide
guidance to various levels of the health facilities.
