First Lady salutes all mothers by stating;

“On this occasion of Mother’s Day 2016, I wish to encourage Mothers, especially in Ghana and Africa, to participate in the Annual Vaccination Week by ensuring that infants and children receive the requisite free vaccination. We need to collectively prioritise immunisation as a key intervention to reduce child mortality,”

She also reiterated her commitment to elevating Africa to a continent with empowered girls and women.  Dr. Mahama thus enjoined mothers to support the ‘End Child Marriage’ Campaign and prioritize the education of young children as against ushering them into child marriages.
