Ubora Institute and the Ghana Health Service conducted a successful one-day Evidence Translation Advisors (ETA) Training on October 24, 2024, at Ellking Hotel, Accra. This training, a key milestone in Ghana's Network of Practice (NoP) Implementation strategy, was designed to equip ETAs with essential skills to facilitate evidence translation in their respective regions, a critical move to Ghana’s NoP nationwide scale-up.

The Network of Practice is an initiative by the Ghana Health Service (GHS) to improve health service delivery through the Primary Health Care (PHS) system, especially at the sub-district and community level. It is a key feature of Ghana’s UHC Roadmap, aimed at repositioning Primary Health Care as smart, inclusive care for all, regardless of socio-economic status. An Evidence Translation Advisor (ETA) is a Ghana Health Service officer designated to lead the NoP Evidence Translation process within a region. Technical support for this role is provided by Ubora Institute.

The ETA training convened GHS Regional Directors, Deputy Directors for Clinical Care (DDCCs) and Public Health (DDPHs) from the Bono, Volta, and Northern regions. Also, in attendance from GHS National was Dr. Andrews Ayim, Director of Policy, who led representatives from the Policy, Planning, Monitoring & Evaluation directorate (PPMED). Dr. John Williams, the Principal Investigator for the NoP Implementation Research Group at Dodowa Health Research Centre, Dr. John Williams was also present.

Ubora Institute’s Senior Advisors – Dr. Nicholas Tweneboa and Mr. Jonas Akpakli, Ireneous Dasoberi (Technical Advisor), Musah Ali (Programme coordinator), and Bright Gemegah (Project Analyst) facilitated sessions on the evidence translation process, equipping participants with the technical knowledge and skills needed to become effective ETAs. Dr. Ayim highlighted the importance of evidence translation in strengthening the NoP model, a key element in Ghana’s progress toward Universal Health Coverage (UHC).

Throughout the session, participants actively engaged in discussions on curating evidence, prioritizing healthcare challenges, and applying analytical tools for root cause analysis. Additionally, the ETAs collectively emphasized the value of a participatory approach to support continuous improvement in healthcare delivery and policy adaptation within their regions.

This training marks a critical step toward enhancing the NoP model as Ghana strives to improve healthcare access, efficiency, and outcomes.

As October comes to a close, we reflect on Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the vital role breastfeeding plays in prevention.

Research shows that women who breastfeed have a lower risk of developing breast cancer later in life. By prioritizing breastfeeding, we not only support the health of infants but also empower mothers to take proactive steps for their well-being.

In line with this year’s World Breastfeeding Week theme, "Closing the Gap," we emphasize the need for workplace support that enables breastfeeding. Providing lactation rooms, flexible schedules, and other accommodations is essential in helping mothers continue breastfeeding while managing work responsibilities. These initiatives lead to healthier outcomes for both mothers and their children.

Let’s continue to raise awareness about the benefits of breastfeeding and advocate for supportive policies that protect the health of future generations.

Together, we can make a difference in the fight against breast cancer!

The Breastfeeding Awareness Launch, themed “Closing the Gap – Breastfeeding Support for All,” organized by the Food and Drugs Authority Ghana (FDA), brought together key stakeholders, including UNICEF Ghana and other partners, to advocate for inclusive breastfeeding support for mothers and families. This event was particularly meaningful for Ubora Institute, as it aligns closely with our ongoing efforts to implement the Breastmilk for Life Project.

Key highlights from the event included:
1. Reinforcement of LI 1667, a legislative instrument protecting breastfeeding, enacted in 2000 and revisited during the official launch of Breastfeeding Awareness Month last year.
2. The launch of a new QR code to report violations of this legislation.
3. Discussions centered on the importance of workplace accommodations for breastfeeding mothers and community support for families.

Our participation in this event reinforces our commitment to addressing the operationalization gap in breastfeeding policies through the Breastmilk for Life Project, which aims to improve breastfeeding rates and support families across diverse socio-economic backgrounds.

Let’s join the movement and support breastfeeding for a healthier future!
