Studies published between and were included if they addressed healthcare accessibility in Ghanaian urban centers post-COVID-19 recovery policies. The analysis revealed that while some economic recovery policies have enhanced funding for healthcare infrastructure, others have led to reductions in public health spending. A notable theme was the need for more equitable distribution of resources across different urban districts. This review underscores the importance of policy coherence and resource allocation strategies to ensure sustainable improvements in healthcare accessibility in Ghanaian urban centers post-COVID-19 recovery.
