Calls for Stronger Parliamentary Commitment to Maternal and Child Nutrition Financing"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong>The Executive Director of Women, Media and Change (WOMEC), Dr. Charity Binka, has called on Parliament and key health sector stakeholders to intensify efforts toward sustainable financing for maternal and child nutrition in Ghana, warning that worsening malnutrition figures pose a major threat to the country\u2019s development.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Speaking at a high-level breakfast meeting held in Accra on Thursday, May 21, 2026, Dr. Binka stressed the need for stronger parliamentary leadership, policy coordination and increased domestic investment to tackle the country\u2019s growing nutrition crisis.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting, organised by WOMEC under the theme, \u201cStrengthening Parliamentary Leadership and Domestic Financing for Maternal and Child Nutrition,\u201d brought together Members of Parliament, development partners, civil society organisations, nutrition experts and health sector stakeholders to discuss practical solutions to Ghana\u2019s nutrition financing gap and strengthen accountability for the country\u2019s Nutrition for Growth (N4G) commitments.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Binka said maternal and child nutrition must remain central to Ghana\u2019s national development agenda, noting that the country continues to face alarming levels of food insecurity, child malnutrition and maternal anaemia.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>\u201cWe need stronger national commitment and practical interventions that place maternal and child nutrition at the centre of our development agenda,\u201d she stated<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to research findings presented at the meeting, about 68,517 Ghanaian children currently suffer severe acute malnutrition and require urgent treatment each year, yet only about 15 per cent of them are reached with interventions.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\"

six per cent of children under five years are wasted annually, while more than 41 per cent of Ghanaian households face moderate to severe food insecurity.<\/p>\n<p>The research also highlighted troubling global hunger trends, indicating that between 690 million and 783 million people experienced hunger in 2022, while nearly 2.4 billion people lacked access to adequate nutritious food due to the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation and rising food costs.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24605\"

following Ghana\u2019s commitments at the Paris Nutrition for Growth Summit held in March 2025.<br \/>\nShe noted that Ghana pledged to commit six million dollars annually toward essential nutrition commodities up to 2030, while also committing to integrate Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) and Multiple Micronutrient Supplements (MMS) into the National Health Insurance Scheme benefits package.<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Titus Beyuo, a member of Parliament\u2019s Health Committee, assured participants of Parliament\u2019s readiness to support policies and budgetary allocations aimed at

support for nutrition financing in Ghana,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the National Health Insurance Authority for Finance and Investment, Anatu Anne Seidu Bogobiri, also reaffirmed the Authority\u2019s commitment to supporting national efforts aimed at improving maternal and child healthcare outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>According to her, nutrition should not be viewed solely as a health issue because it directly affects education, productivity, economic growth and national development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes we speak about nutrition as though it is only a medical issue, but in reality, it touches every part of national life \u2014 our schools, our economy, our families and ultimately the future of our country,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n<p>She cautioned against overdependence on donor funding and fragmented interventions, stressing the need for stronger coordination among government institutions, development partners, civil society organisations and the private sector.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cannot continue depending only on temporary support or fragmented interventions. We must begin to build systems that can support these services consistently and equitably,\u201d she stressed.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting also highlighted major international commitments toward global nutrition financing, including billions of dollars pledged by development finance institutions and donor countries to support healthcare and nutrition interventions worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Participants expressed optimism that stronger parliamentary oversight and sustained domestic investment would help Ghana fulfil its Nutrition for Growth commitments and improve maternal and child health outcomes across the country.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24607\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/FB_IMG_1779777882739.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/FB_IMG_1779777882739.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/FB_IMG_1779777882739-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/FB_IMG_1779777882739-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/FB_IMG_1779777882739-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/FB_IMG_1779777882739-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Source: Felix Nyaaba\/expressnewsghana.com<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Executive Director of Women, Media and Change (WOMEC), Dr. Charity Binka, has called on Parliament and key health sector stakeholders to intensify efforts toward [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24603,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[4563],"class_list":["post-24602","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health","tag-parliament-commitment-nutrition-financing"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
