The Ghana Adolescent Reproductive Health (GHARH) Project, an intervention to improve adolescent access to Health information and utilization of quality reproductive health services, has reached over 77,000 young people in Brong-Ahafo, with sexual reproductive health (SRH) information, between January and June this year. Mr. Moses Nanang, the Brong-Ahafo Regional Representative of Palladium Ghana, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) collaborating with other Ghanaian partners in the implementation of the GHARH Project, said on Monday. Within the same period, he said, over 63,000 young people also received various sexual and reproductive health services through different platforms such as adolescent health corners, school health clubs and outreach points. He therefore appealed to government through the Municipal/District Assemblies and other agencies to prioritize adolescent health issues by budgeting adequately for them. He charged the Municipal/District Health Directorates to endeavour to use the corners for their intended purposes and also directed them to integrate adolescent health services into their routine health services programmes to sustain the Project.
