Abstract

The research aims to study the impact of corporate governance on hospital performance regarding HIV and malaria control, using the Ghana health industry as a case. The nation is making frantic effort to control HIV and malaria, since they continue to be among the deadliest diseases that attract holistic attention; hence, there is the need to put structures in place to curb the spread.A total of 1005 precoded questionnaires were administered to 125 hospitals, for responses from staff, managers, board, and chief executive officers (CEOs). The collated data were analysed using structural equation modelling approach.Our research revealed that corporate governance has a positive effect on hospital performance, regarding the control of the two deadly diseases (HIV and malaria). The interventions in Ghana health delivery have brought a level of improvement in malaria control, since the disease mortality has significantly declined from 19% in 2010 to 4% in 2016. Through the implementation of systems and policies, the national HIV prevalence has admirably reduced from 2.9% in 2000 to 1.6% in 2017.Hospitals are therefore encouraged to continue to implement effective corporate governance mechanisms to facilitate efficient, well-organised, and prudent practices that can deliver more institutional performance in HIV and malaria control.
