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 />
