Northern Region, Administrative region in northern Ghana
The Northern Region extends across 25,000 square kilometers of land, making it the second largest administrative division among Ghana's sixteen regions.
In April 1959, Ghana's government divided the original Northern Territories into separate regions, establishing the Northern Region as a distinct administrative entity.
Multiple ethnic groups including Dagombas, Mamprusis, and Nanumba communities maintain their languages and traditions throughout the districts of the Northern Region.
The regional capital Tamale contains the Teaching Hospital, which functions as the third largest medical facility in Ghana's healthcare system.
The region experiences a Guinea Savanna climate with annual rainfall between 750 to 1050 millimeters during the wet season from April to October.
