A rising tide of teenage pregnancies in Ghana's Bono Region has put public health officials on high alert.

Between 2021 and 2024, the region recorded a staggering 14,877 cases involving girls mostly under 19.

Even more worrying, 1,188 abortion cases were documented within the same period.

These revelations came to light during a stakeholders' meeting in Sunyani, held as part of activities marking African Vaccination Week and Child Health Promotion Week.
