GHS Taking Bold Steps To Curb High Incidence Of New Born Deaths.

The Ghana  Health Service  is  taking  bold  steps to  curb the high  incidence of new born deaths in  the  country.  

At  a National  Forum to solicit  commitment  and  support  from both  the public and  institutions  to make  it a reality, a Four Year  National Strategy and Action Plan  was launched. 

The Child  Health  Coordinator at the GHS, Dr. Isabella  Sagoe-Moses  identified  lack of  equipment in health  facilities, inadequate  skilled  health  providers and certain  cultural practices  as some  factors hampering  their effort.  

She called for a consented effort to save the lives of new born  babies.
