of Ghana (PPAG), Michael Tago has expressed his perception of some religious organizations
who frowns on family planning which has factored the increase of population and
the high rate of abortion in the country.
He said some religious organization forbid artificial
contraceptives and family planning because of their faith but in reality does
not help them, however, most people from such organizations approach him and
other health centers with their unwanted pregnancies.
According to him, he is currently accumulating the list of
women from such organizations that visits his office with such problems and
will confront those organizations in the near future.
He said most people give birth to number of children beyond
their capability which cause challenges to the children, patients, society and
the country. He added that family planning prevent complications in
childbearing and has other health benefits.
He suggested Government should frequently organize educative
programs for the citizens to acquire more knowledge and understanding on the
importance of family planning and the use of contraceptives to ensure quality human racecourse.
