WHO Issues Guidelines to Prevent Teen Pregnancy

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. 

According to Dr Pascale Allotey, Director of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Research at WHO, more than 21 million adolescent girls become pregnant each year in low and middle-income countries, around half of which are unintended, while early pregnancy can create cycles of intergenerational poverty which is difficult to break.
