*Population data provided from the 2010 Census report (Ghana Statistical Service [GSS], 2010)
* Further demarcation of regional and district boundaries was done between 2008 and 2019, adding two new regions from the original Northern region and ten new districts within the original Northern region. However, these newly created districts/regions do not have district/regional hospitals, and the population continues to be served by the existing health facilities
