Improving Access to Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRHR) Information and Services for Deaf People in Ghana

Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) is a national issue in Ghana. Maternal mortality rates, unplanned and teenage pregnancies, unsafe abortions, and HIV infections are still high. Progress in national coverage in SRH has been made aimed at influencing people’s sexual behavior; provision of reliable information on SRH issues to every citizen. Nevertheless, lack of SRH services in accessible formats, and other barriers have resulted in lack of priority on the SRH needs of Deaf people.
