25 more midwives trained in F.P.
The 10th day of June 1993 was another day in the life of GRMA as 25 Private Midwives were awarded certificates in Family Planning Training. This is the first of 8 trainings to be held under the second phase of the Family Planning  Project and was held at the Eredec Hotel, Koforidua, from 31st May - 11th June.  Participants were drawn from 3 regions:  Eastern 12, Volta 3, and Greater Accra 10.  They were trained in Counselling of Clients and in the provision of Family Planning Services.  The 3 new Trainers for the Association, with the help of the Project Director, Ms. Florence Quarcoopome, and Mrs. Charlotte Quimby, a training consultant from the US, handled the workshop.  The Deputy Regional Minister, Mr. W. B. Asante, who gave the keynote address advised the participants not to waste their resources but to put all that they have learnt into practice to help mothers and children in Ghana.  The Chairman of the occasion, Dr. Aaron Offei, Eastern Regional Deputy Director of Health Services, advised the participants to send in their returns correctly and on time.  The participants staged a role play on dispelling of rumors in Family Planning.
