Dr. Wilfred Ochan, Country Representative of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), paid a courtesy call on the Minister of Health, Hon. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, to discuss key issues related to family planning and its benefits.
Dr. Ochan, who brings over 20 years of experience in international development, emphasized the importance of family planning in achieving better health outcomes and improving the overall well-being of individuals and communities.
Hon. Akandoh welcomed Dr Ochan’s remarks and urged for a strengthening of the relationship between the Ministry of Health and UNFPA to ensure that government programs are aligned with UN aid. The Minister emphasized the need to prioritize government programs and ensure that both parties are on the same page.
The courtesy call highlights the importance of collaboration between government agencies and international organizations like UNFPA in achieving common goals related to health and development. As the UN’s sexual and reproductive health agency, UNFPA plays a critical role in promoting family planning and improving access to reproductive health services.
The meeting between Dr Ochan and Hon. Akandoh demonstrates the commitment of both parties to working together to address pressing health issues in Ghana. By strengthening their partnership, they aim to make progress towards achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those related to health and well-being.
