Adolescent <strong>Health</strong> and Development Services<br />
Traditionally the needs <strong>of</strong> young people have not been adequately incorporated in the<br />
design and provision <strong>of</strong> health services. However, this is changing. The revised National<br />
Reproductive <strong>Health</strong> Policy and Standards incorporates needs <strong>of</strong> adolescents. The health<br />
sector has also progressed steadily in incorporating adolescent friendly services in the<br />
public, CHAG, and private health institutions with the support <strong>of</strong> an established National<br />
Adolescent <strong>Health</strong> and Development resource team in the Ghana <strong>Health</strong> Service (GHS)<br />
and Christian <strong>Health</strong> Association <strong>of</strong> Ghana (CHAG). Training <strong>of</strong> trainers in delivery <strong>of</strong><br />
adolescent health services have been organized in 9 out <strong>of</strong> 10 regions. A number <strong>of</strong><br />
institutions have started providing adolescent friendly health services. In <strong>2005</strong>, we intend<br />
to document lessons and good practices with the implementation <strong>of</strong> adolescent friendly<br />
services in health institutions. We will build on these lessons to scale up the<br />
implementation <strong>of</strong> adolescent friendly health services.<br />
Priority activities would include:<br />
• Document lessons and good practices from the various initiatives <strong>of</strong> adolescent<br />
friendly health services in the country<br />
• Develop a strategy for integrating adolescent health services into routine health<br />
services and re-orienting service providers in public and private sector<br />
• Develop guidelines for providing adolescent friendly health services<br />
• Conduct rapid appraisal <strong>of</strong> the implementation <strong>of</strong> adolescent health and development<br />
programme in the health sector<br />
Expected Output/Results<br />
• Adolescent health strategy developed<br />
