NGO Launches ‘Fair Play for Africa’
The Alliance for Reproductive Health Right's (ARHR) desire to realise the ‘Abuja 15 percent’ government budget for health care, has stirred the group to launch the ‘Fair Play for Africa’ campaign to achieve the goal.
In her address at the launch in Accra, the executive director of ARHR, Vicky T. Okine, pointed out that only six out of the 53 African countries that pledged in Abuja in 2001 has fulfilled the pledge, hence the crusade to attain that objective.
"Although Ghana has made efforts to increase financial resources for the sector over the years, the target of minimum of 15 percent is yet to be attained. Many of our hospitals and clinics remain ill-equipped and inadequately staffed," added Okine.
