WHO Releases Guideline To Prevent Adolescent Pregnancies And Improve Girls’ Health

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has released a new guideline aimed at preventing adolescent pregnancy and its significant related health complications.

In a statement yesterday, the world health body urged rapid action to end child marriages and extend girls’ schooling, in a bid to tackle the leading cause of death globally among 15 to 19-year-old girls.

It also called for improve access to sexual and reproductive health services and information –to reduce early pregnancies among teenagers around the world.
