Former country Director of IPAS Ghana, Dr Koma Je­hu-Appiah, has congratulat­ed Ambassador Dr Eunice Brookman-Amissah on her appointment by President John Dramani Mahama to the Council of State. "We fully trust in your capabilities to deliver," says Dr Jehu-Appiah in a statement issued in Accra yesterday copied the Gha­naian Times.

Ambassador Dr Brook­man-Amissah is a physician and an advocate who has dedicated most of her ca­reer to improving women's reproductive health and rights globally and especially in Africa.

It said she is a true pioneer in her field, having worked tirelessly to help reduce maternal mortality from unsafe abortions and increase access to safe legal abortion services across the continent.

In a 1998 recognition, the Royal College of Obste­tricians and Gynecologists of the United Kingdom stated that she had pio­neered in Africa what has come to be known as Com­munity Gynaecology.
