Abstract :Cloud Computing is considered as the next logical step in emerging technology for prosperous resource outsourcing, information sharing in Physician-Patient relationship and a platform for research development. The fast drift of Ghana’s healthcare facilities into cloud computing for finding treatment to humanity’s major illnesses has called for a pragmatic understanding of its security deterrence techniques. Studies in cryptographic discipline of Ghana’s healthcare require a working understanding of the security issues by Healthcare Administrators. Healthcare data leaked outside to unauthorized users tarnishes the image of such individual, healthcare facility and the Ghanaian populace. This paradigm shift requires a strong and efficient security system among healthcare facilities to avoid the erosion of trust. Our review is motivated by these contemporary technologies to explore it adoptions, utilization and provision of security strategies in this innovation. Much emphasis were placed on network, interfaces, data, virtualization, legal, compliance and governance as key areas of security challenges in cloud computing. Relevant literatures were discussed to highlight their prominent findings. The contributions presented are relevant in providing a practical framework for enhancing security in other disciplines as well.Keywords : Security, Technology, Cloud, Infrastructures, Healthcare
