Ho, Aug 25, GNA - Stakeholders in child welfare from the Volta and Eastern regions met in Ho on Wednesday to evaluate strategies to improve child survival in the country.
Survey reports presented at the forum, which was under the aegis of the Ghana Sustainable Change Project (GSCP), indicated that malnutrition is the leading cause of Ghana's under-five deaths.
Nutritionists, Public Health nurses, staff of National Council on Women and Development, Department of Children under the Ministry of Women and Children's Affairs and the media attended the forum that is part of activities to mark the 2005 World Breast Feeding Week. Discussions were based on research findings that showed that though breastfeeding newborns was a universal practice in Ghana, the knowledge base on breastfeeding and complementary feeding was weak and must be improved.
