Public Agenda (Accra)

Kwaku Baah-Achemfour
Cape Coast Township was last Saturday converted into a classroom setting when Ghana Organization on Fetal Alcoholic Syndrome (GOFAS) organized a three day seminar to sensitize pregnant women on the dangers associated with the intake of alcohol on their health and the unborn babies.
Speaking to Public Agenda in Cape Coast, the Chief Executive Officer of the group, Mrs. Amanorbea Opoku-Boakye explained that the seminars were organized in Accra and Cape Coast due to their research findings that revealed that many pregnant women continue to rub shoulders with men in the drinking bars with dire consequences on their unborn babies.
