Following the public interest generated by MHC?s TV programmes on Kayayei, female street porters living and sleeping rough on the streets of Accra, MHC was invited by Dr. Ebenezer Appiah Denkyira, Director General of the Ghana Health Service to discuss the situation and help chart positive ways forward. Consultations followed and we are pleased to announce a city – wide health and welfare committee under the auspices of Ghana Health Service. This unique partnership of health providers, Kayeyei representatives, MHC and NGO?s like Marie Stopes International and Blissful Bottoms represents a great chance to provide lasting solutions to the challenges posed by this critical sector of public health care. ?
Dr Appiah Denkyira appears in a special MHC review programme showing on GTV on Thursday 10 October at 8pm.?
