“…The reliance on social connections for health-related assistance is said to be more pronounced among relatively vulnerable persons (Amoah & Jørgensen, 2014; Avogo, 2013; Narayan, 1999; Yip et al, 2007). In Ghana and many other developing countries, not only have fewer studies been carried out about social capital (Amoah, 2017; Story, 2013), but also minimal attention has been paid to the role of the phenomenon in actual healthcare delivery. Moreover, considering that developing nations do have weak and complicated health systems (Barnes, Brown, & Harman, 2015; Smith & Hanson, 2012), social capital can offer precise perspectives and possibly, solutions to some of the recurrent challenges in healthcare delivery (Hollard & Sene, 2016).…”
