Rev. Laryea adds, in spite of all the challenges confronting them, they are still giving their all to ensure the lives of the pregnant women and their childs are being protected and saved when delivering.
He told Kingdom FM’s KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH during the celebration of the International Day of Midwife which fall on May 5 of every year but in Ghana they observed theirs on May 10, 2023.
The Theme for this year’s celebration was:” UNITY AMONG MIDWIVES: A KEY FACTOR IN THE EMPOWERMENT OF MIDWIVES IN GHANA”.
