Maternal Health: The Deputy Health Minister says the Ministry plans standalone obstetric fistula treatment centres to improve access to specialised care. Public Health Alert: The Ghana Health Service warns rainy-season flooding and early rains can raise waterborne diseases and mosquito-borne illnesses, urging strict hygiene and safe food handling. Mental Health Access: A mental health nurse calls for earlier help-seeking and open conversations to reduce stigma and encourage professional support. Community Health Infrastructure: EURACARE commissioned a new multi-specialist hospital, highlighting renewed efforts to expand quality healthcare access. Menstrual Hygiene Day Support: Anloga’s DCE marked the day with education and support for schoolgirls facing menstrual poverty. Food Safety Concern: CSIR scientists report geophagic clays sold in Kumasi contain dangerously high lead levels, warning of long-term health risks for pregnant women.
