Abstract

Hospital boards are expected to play a crucial role on the healthcare delivery system and the effectiveness of the hospital board may depend on its structure. Therefore, an appreciation of the structure of hospital boards is an area worth investigating. This study examined the determinants of hospital board structure in Ghana. The study adopted a multiple regression method. The findings of the study indicate that hospital size, hospital age, ownership structure and location of the hospitals are important in explaining the board structure of hospitals in Ghana. The findings of this study are generally relevant for policy on how to structure an effective hospital board.
