UNICEF, Ghana Health Service expand safety net intervention to 44 more health facilities in Central Region

The Safety Net Intervention is a partnership between the Ghana Health Service (GHS) and UNICEF aimed at improving health outcomes for pregnant adolescents by integrating adolescent-friendly maternal and child health services into routine healthcare delivery.

About 100 health service providers have undergone training to strengthen support for pregnant adolescents following the expansion of the Safety Net Intervention to an additional 44 health facilities in the Central Region.

The Safety Net Intervention seeks to bridge that gap by improving access to adolescent-responsive maternal healthcare through home s, community outreach, support group meetings and referrals to essential social services.
