COCOBOD has set up six centres in Kumasi, Accra, Tema, Tafo, Debiso, and Kejebril to cater for the health needs of farmers, staff of the Board and communities in which they operate. The Cocoa Clinic at Kaneshie in Accra is equipped with modern facilities to manage all kinds of health problems.

COCOBOD has also constructed a hospital at Mampong Akuapem in honour of Tetteh Quarshie who brought cocoa to Ghana. The hospital renders services to the people of Mampong and people in neighbouring towns and villages who previously had to travel many miles to seek medical care.

These efforts are improving the lives of the many small-holder farm families who grow this unique and very important crop.

Cocoa is important in the socio-economic development of Ghana and the farmer is recognized as the centre of this industry.
