  -> Thanks, Allegro.
disagree  Daryo: whatever happens in Ghana, this would be the translation for "Direction Sanitaire du District" implying the same "district" is used as a subdivision in other fields (say education, police etc) not what the ST says

  -> Maybe you should tell this to WHO/OMS, instead? As you can see on p. 13, I'm not the author of, 'District Health Directorate'. But do get in touch with Wikipedia as well - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_health_board - seems they are wrong too...
