Mrs Grace Nartey spoke of how the screening programme had been first implemented in the hospital’s antenatal clinics then extended into the community.
There has been complete buy-in from healthcare professionals – the clinicians, the midwives and the maternity assistants. Educating staff was important with posters and a leaflet.
It was about getting women on board and getting them to understand the reasons why we were concerned and felt that it was necessary to offer this programme.”
