The Sekondi-Takoradi Met­ropolitan Assembly (STMA) has inaugurated three Adolescent Reproductive Health Counselling Centres (ARHCC) to boost adolescent health needs of Diabenekrom, Kojokrom and Essipun.

The facilities have counselling, meeting and wash rooms.

The project, funded by the European Union (EU) Twin -City Sustainable Partnership Project (TCSPP) and executed by STMA, would also address youth-related issues including teenage pregnan­cy, child prostitution, illicit use of drugs and gender- based violence.

The Midwife Officer In-charge of Diabenekrom Communi­ty-Based Health Planning Services (CHPS) compound, Ms Diana Adjo Abbah, said at the hand over that ARHCC would make a differ­ence in reproductive health access in the area.
