Christian Children's Fund of Canada (CCFC) in conjunction with its partner, Presbyterian Farmers' Training and Child Development Program (PFTCDP) has organized a five day refresher training course for about 22 Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs) coming from 17 communities in Jantong Daboagshie in the East Gonja district of the northern region.
The aim of the workshop was to upgrade the skills of the TBAs in current antenatal and post natal practice and to provide them with the necessary working accoutrements to enable them function well in their communities because they are the first point of contact for pregnant women.
