Professor Fred Sai, a Reproductive Health Consultant was on Thursday honoured by the Family Health International (FHI), comprising public health organizations for his immense contribution towards awareness creation on family planning, nutrition and other related health issues that particularly affected women in developing countries.
He was presented with a plaque and a cheque which he handed over (cheque) to the University of Ghana for the development of the Medical School.
Prof. Sai receiving the award indicated that there was still more to be done in the area of health, nutrition and family planning adding,
"Until Africa's children are fed, I will not put on weight".
He noted that achieving the Millennium Development Goals particularly on health required that Africa dreamt of the impossible and made it work for its holistic development.
"Let Africa dream of the impossible and begin taking actions to propel its growth and development".
Prof Sai observed that though Ghana was the first to have a policy document on family planning, it continued to be an issue of concern and tasked political leaders to show much interest in finding
answers to the problem. He expressed gratitude to the organization, adding, "I am happy this is being done when I am alive and not to be put in that small box before I am honoured".
In a related development, the Fred and Florence Scholarship Scheme, of which Prof. Sai and family are founders, is currently supporting about 17 medical female students of the University of Ghana.
