Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine patient satisfaction with the quality of care in Ghana’s health-care facilities using a disaggregated approach. Design/methodology/approach The study was a cross-sectional national survey. A sample of 4,079 males and females in the age group of 15-49 years were interviewed. Descriptive statistics, principal component analysis and t-tests were used in statistical analysis. Findings About 70 per cent of patients were satisfied with the quality of care provided in health-care facilities in Ghana, whereas about 30 per cent of patients were fairly satisfied. Females and insured patients were more likely to be satisfied with the quality of care, compared with males and uninsured patients. Research limitations/implications Because data were obtained from a national survey, the questionnaire did not include the type of facility patients attended to find out whether satisfaction with the quality of care varied by the type of health facility. Future studies may, therefore, include this. Practical implications The study contributes to the literature on patient satisfaction with the quality of care. It highlights that long waiting time remains an intractable problem at various service delivery units of health facilities and constitutes a major source of patient dissatisfaction with the quality of care. Innovative measures must, therefore, be adopted to address the problem. Originality/value There is a paucity of research that uses a disaggregated approach to examine patient satisfaction with the quality of care at various service delivery units of health facilities. This study is a modest contribution to this research gap.

Patients, especially those who use health insurance have felt that the quality of primary care services tends to be less satisfying in terms of both public services and dental care services. Based on the results of the annual report at the Kahuripan Health Center, the number of patient visits to BPG decreased from 2016 to 2017 by 802 people. This study aimed to determine the quality of dental care services and the satisfaction of patients visiting BPG Kahuripan Health Center. This case study used a qualitative method and an explanatory research design. The sample in this study consisted of 40 patients as the respondents responding to the questionnaires about service quality and patient satisfaction, and 12 people were interviewed. The results showed that all dimensions of the quality of dental care services at the Kahuripan Health Center were categorized as very good i.e. real dimensions (82.71%), reliability (83.21%), responsiveness (87.12%), assurance (84.93%), and empathy (83.54%). As for patient satisfaction, three stages of patient satisfaction were categorized as very satisfied, namely the anamnesis and diagnosis stage (83.02%), action (83%), and completion of action (82.62%). The stages categorized as satisfying were the registration and waiting room stage (78.87%), and the stage of preparation of treatment (72.50%). The result of interview showed that the average respondents stated that the quality of dental care services was very good. All the five dimensions of the quality of dental care services were categorized as very good. Patients who visited BPG expressed satisfaction with the five stages, namely they were very satisfied with the three stages and satisfied with the other two stages.
