Accra, Nov. 11, GNA- Dr Fred Adomako-Boateng, the Ashanti Regional Director of Ghana Health Service, has called for investment in research to develop new innovations and interventions best suited within the local context to improve outcomes for preterm infants.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said stakeholders must continue to support research and innovation in neonatal care.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dr Adomako-Boateng was speaking at the virtual launch of the Prematurity Awareness Month 2024 organised by the Paediatric Society of Ghana (PSG) on the theme: \u201cBreaking Barriers: Access to Quality Care Everywhere.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He commended PSG for its unabating advocacy for babies born prematurely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI also commended the PSG Ashanti for the hard work behind the scenes to ensure the success of this awareness creation and advocacy,\u201d he said.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
He reaffirmed his commitment to working together with all relevant stakeholders to break barriers and protect the rights of these babies to high quality care.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can create a future where every preterm newborn, everywhere, has the opportunity to receive quality care and thrive,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He acknowledged the strength and resilience of healthcare professionals, the courage of parents, and the advancements in medical care that together help to move closer to a world where every child has the best possible start in life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dr Eugene Martey, Chairperson PSG Ashanti Region Chapter, said throughout the month, there would be attention to the advancements, innovations, and, importantly, the collaborations needed to support these children and their families.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said to the families, who have experienced the journey of prematurity, \u201cyour stories inspire us, let us use this month as a platform to educate, advocate, and inspire action.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said together, \u201clet us break barriers and build pathways to quality care, everywhere, commending the Local Organising Committee for their time, effort and dedication to making this happen.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
