5.3 Conclusion
This study assessed efficient cold chain management practices in the health sector and their impact on service delivery in Ghana. The quantitative research approach was adopted for the study. Based on variables discovered from a comprehensive review of pertinent literature theoretically and empirically on the cold chain management, a structured questionnaire aided in collecting the data in a survey of health professionals. A total of 100 professionals purposively sampled were contacted to participate in the online survey by answering the questionnaire. Feedbacks were obtained from 62 professionals whose responses were received. The data gathered from the survey were coded and further analyzed to provide meaning to the result. The results (presented in Chapter four and summarized in Chapter five)
enabled the achievement of the study’s objectives outlined at the beginning of this research under the consideration of the stated scope. Its significant contributions to knowledge, theory and practice and the recommendations have been clearly stated in this chapter in the subsequent sections. This study would guide healthcare professionals and institutions, and the government to implement strategies necessary to improve cold chain practice in the Ghanaian healthcare sector. This study may also sensitize other researchers to delve into more issues better to understand the cold chain delivery system in the healthcare sector and the appropriate stakeholders to properly manage the cold chain system in developing countries.
