"It is important that we equip all the peripheral facilities. If all them are referring to the major hospitals, no matter how many beds we provide for these major hospitals, they will always have no beds."
- Dr. Richard Selormey [General Secretary, GMA] #JoySMS
Iโve said this before and Iโll say it again: pregnancy is not a walk in the park. It is a high risk stage of life, and anyone who thinks otherwise is misinformed. Dr. Janell Green Smith, a certified nurse midwife, tragically passed away from complications of childbirth. If someone with deep medical training and access to care is not immune to the risks of pregnancy, no woman is.
We need to stop minimizing pregnancy and stop telling women they should โjust have more babiesโ while ignoring the very real medical risks, gaps in care, and lack of postpartum support. Pronatalism without maternal safety is not pro-life, itโs reckless.
It was an insightful time on @metrotvgh with @AAA_Grey where we discussed the core mandate of the Ghana Medical Trust Fund. We are committed to ensuring that our solutions make a lasting difference in the lives of Ghanaians everywhere. ๐ฌ๐ญโจ

If you see the way I cajoled my husband to do this dance. Overheard his friend hyping him about seeing the video on IG and he said he was the creative director๐ญ๐ญ
