Pregnant women continue to die in Faana due to lack of healthcare facilities

Pregnant women continue to die in Faana due to lack of healthcare facilities

Half a dozen newly-born babies and mothers have died in the last six years at an island community of Faana in the Ga South Municipal Assembly of the Greater Accra Region.

That is according to residents of the community trapped in between the sea and lagoon with no access to healthcare.

Other inhabitants and pregnant women continue to die and deliver in canoes because they have to travel for over one hour in paddled canoes to access healthcare.

JoyNews Henry Kwesi Badu returned from the community and has more in the following report.
