The
coordinator of the event, Mary Amoah, indicated that about three years now the
acceptance rate of family planning continuous to reduce
drastically.
She admitted that even though, much awareness on the phenomenon
has been created, the number of women who go to the health facilities to seek
for family planning care are often few.
Meanwhile when Radio Ghana conducted an
interview with some couples in the Municipality on why they would not go for
family planning services, some mentioned that it has some negative health
implication.
Sharing her experience, Sara Anaba explained that she went in for
a family planning service after which she experience double flow of her
menstruation.
Clemential Adongo also noted that she experienced
difficulties in picking a seed when she stopped the contraceptive.
The event
was characterized by route match amidst brace bands. Condoms were also
distributed coupled with talks with market women on the need to go for planning
services.
