  • Scars of birth

    Open AccessAlex Bawuah, Godness Kye Biney et al.ARTICLEReproductive Health2026

    BACKGROUND: A single multi-country study in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) conducted nearly two decades ago reported that caesarean section (C-section) delivery was associated with reduced subsequent childbearing.

Using cross-sectional data from the most recent Demographic and Hea…

    Many respondents were willing to receive the COVID-19 booster dose. Personal reasons, fear of side effects, and experienced side effects were the main reasons for refusing COVID-19 booster doses. Perceived benefits and perceived barriers predicted COVID-19 booster dose acceptance in Ghana. Policymakers should consider these factors in designing public health interventions to increase the patronage of COVID-19 booster doses
