The government has commended the Planned Parenthood Association of Ghana (PPAG) for educating and providing Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR) services for young people to make informed choices about their reproductive health.
The Association, over the past years, had pioneered many projects, including family life education for the youth, male clinics and the integration of family planning into community development projects.
Dr Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, the Minister of Gender, Children, and Social Protection, said this at the Association's 58th Anniversary lecture in Accra.
The lecture was on the theme: "Celebrating 58 Years of PPAG's Leadership in SRHR Education and Services in Ghana." She said PPAG's contributions had been transformative, with over six million individuals benefiting from family planning and reproductive health services.
