The Country Observers Mission on Governance (COMoG) has engaged students of Ho Technical Institute in an educational outreach programme focused on key health issues affecting young people and the wider community.
The engagement centred on three important health topics: adolescent reproductive health, malaria and tuberculosis (TB). It aimed to increase students' awareness, promote healthy lifestyles and encourage informed health decisions.
During the session, Jasper Fafali Kumah educated the students on adolescent reproductive health, including the importance of responsible decision-making, personal hygiene, prevention of sexually transmitted infections and seeking appropriate healthcare services when necessary.
Roland Krabor led the discussion on malaria, highlighting preventive measures such as sleeping under insecticide-treated mosquito nets, keeping surroundings clean and seeking early treatment when symptoms occur.
On tuberculosis, the engagement focused on raising awareness about its symptoms, modes of transmission and prevention, and on the importance of early diagnosis and completing prescribed treatment.
The programme gave students the opportunity to learn, ask questions and deepen their understanding of these critical health concerns.
Through this initiative, COMoG continues to demonstrate the importance of public education and community engagement in addressing issues that affect the well-being of citizens, particularly young people. The engagement also reinforces the need for collaboration among educational institutions, health professionals, civil society organisations and other stakeholders to promote healthier communities.
COMoG remains committed to promoting awareness, empowering young people with relevant knowledge and supporting initiatives that contribute to the health and well-being of society.
Also in attendance were the Executive Director of COMoG, Eric Eli Adzie, and other members.
