A mixed-methods approach combining quantitative data from official health records and qualitative insights through interviews with healthcare workers and policymakers. Health systems in Ghana demonstrated significant adaptability to the Ebola outbreak of by reallocating resources efficiently, which served as a model for subsequent epidemics. Ghana's experience highlights the importance of resource allocation flexibility, stakeholder collaboration, and early warning systems in enhancing epidemic response effectiveness.
