A seven-member team from the Netherlands who are financiers of the Hope For Future Generation, a Non-governmental Organisation (NGO) operating in the Central Region, has visited the Ajumako-Enyan-Essiam district to evaluate the work of the NGO. The team from Simavi city, led by Mr Bouwe�Jan Smeding, was briefed by the Executive Director of the NGO, Mrs Cecelia Senoo. At a durbar held in their honour at Ajumako-Afransi, Mrs Senoo said, her outfit had trained a 30-member mother support group, and was educating the women in the community on the need to ensure environmental cleanliness and other primary health activities. She said they had also trained three Traditional Birth Attendants and four community based health agents to help sanitize the women on proper breast feeding and family planning, adding that similar groups had also been formed in 35 communities in the district. Mrs Senoo said the Agents had also been educating pregnant women to attend anti-natal clinic regularly to help reduce maternal mortality and morbidity. She said health clubs had been formed in schools to educate their peers on the importance of regular exercises and the taking of balanced food to enable them to be healthy always. According to her, following the educational programme by the NGO the number of people practicing family planning had increased by 60 per cent, and that maternal mortality rate had also reduced drastically. She appealed to the government to provide NGOs working on health with funds to enable them to expand their services to the remote areas, and to supplement the efforts of the Ghana Health Service to offer quality health delivery to every corner of the country. Mr Smeding commended the NGO for the good work and hoped they will maintain that spirit to improve the health need of the people in the area. Nana Kwa Numa IV, Odikro of the town, expressed gratitude to the NGO and their financiers for their efforts at helping to promote the health of the people.
