V/R health workers must step up commitment to quality healthcare – Dr Dodor

Health workers in Ghana's Volta Region have been urged to enhance their commitment to delivering quality healthcare, as key health indicators continue to decline or stagnate. Dr. Emmanuel Atsu Dodor, the Volta Regional Director of Health Services, highlighted the need for urgent action to reverse the negative trends during the 2026 mid-year Volta Regional Health Sector Performance Review Conference.

While acknowledging some gains in areas such as anaemia in pregnancy, skilled delivery, early postnatal care, breastfeeding, institutional neonatal mortality, stillbirths, child growth monitoring, and underweight cases, Dr. Dodor expressed concern over a decline in antigens for yellow fever and malaria vaccines. He called for health managers and workers to identify weaknesses in the health system and implement strategic interventions to address them.
