These effects she stated ranges from “untimely death
of children, pregnant women and other vulnerable groups from Malaria, to
stunting, decreased ability to learn and reduced school performance
among children as a result of malnutrition.”
She further stated that for pregnant women especially, “if left untreated, Malaria can result in anaemia, low birth weight and permanent disabilities such as blindness.
She noted that for these conditions that are preventable “it is not acceptable that in this day and age, Ghana should lose any child or pregnant woman to Malaria or under-nutrition.”
