The Ghana Statistical Service\u2019s 2022 Demographic Health Survey has revealed that, approximately 5 percent of Ghanaian men are not circumcised.<\/p>\n

This equates to about 835,000 individuals in Ghana.<\/p>\n

The survey, which delves into various aspects including the prevalence of HIV\/AIDS-related behaviors, STDs, health insurance, and health coverage, also indicates that 95% of Ghanaian men aged 15-49 have undergone circumcision, with much of this attributed to religious, traditional, and cultural reasons.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Acting Director of Demography at the Ghana Statistical Service, Godwin Odei Gyebi said this comprehensive array of indicators will furnish valuable insights into the health and well-being of the populace.<\/p>\n

These insights will aid in assessing progress towards Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets.<\/p>\n
