Sekondi, Oct. 7, GNA – Some Commercial sex workers within the Sekondi railway station enclave have been educated on the mode of contraction of Mpox Diseases.
The education, according to Mr Dominic Bentum, the District Officer of the Ghana Red Cross Society involved five volunteers.
The volunteers had to inform their Queen mother to ask for permission, access as well as organise members to be educated on the disease.
He said though many of them were on duty at the time of the visit, a number of them participated in the programme.
“We visited about 28 ladies including their Queen mothers and customers.
According to him, many of the ladies were Nigerians who were rendering services to men within the metropolis.
Some of the sex workers requested for flyers to be posted in their rooms for their customers to read about the disease.
Mr Bentum indicated that inadequate posters and volunteers undermined effective education and sensitization called for more volunteers to join the outreach programme for maximum results.
