Reviving Ghanaian Languages: Harnessing the Power of AI for Preservation

Reviving Ghanaian Languages: Harnessing the Power of AI for Preservation

Ghana News, Headlines Today, Science & Technology
Languages are an integral part of a nation’s cultural identity and heritage. They reflect the unique experiences, values, and traditions of a community. However, Ghana, like many other countries, is facing a significant threat to its linguistic diversity. The rise of globalization, urbanization, and the dominance of major world languages has put Ghanaian languages at risk of extinction. Fortunately, emerging technologies, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), offer a glimmer of hope for the preservation and revitalization of these endangered languages. There are at least 201 African languages that have gone extinct due to globalization and 10 of them are Ghanaian. As the world becomes more interconnected, people are increasingly using common languages like English and French...

Ghana to launch new HIV self-testing program

Ghana to launch new HIV self-testing program

Ghana News, Health & Wellbeing, Lifestyle & Social
Ghana is set to launch a new HIV self-testing (HIVST) program at the Accra Metropolitan Assembly on July 19, 2023. The program on the theme “Test Yourself: Know Your Status” is coordinated by the National Planning Committee (NPC) in partnership with the Ministry of Health. This seeks to make it easier and more convenient for people to get tested for HIV. According to the Ghana AIDS Commission (GAC), there are more than 350,000 persons living with HIV. However, only about 71% of them are aware of their status. The remaining 29%, consequently, pose a major concern as they may, unknowingly, be spreading the virus. The Lead Coordinator of the Ghana and AIDS Network Ernest Amoabeng Ortsin explained that the “HIVST is similar to how a malaria or pregnancy test can be done at home...

Employers must create HIV/TB policies for the workplace – Ayisi Addo

Employers must create HIV/TB policies for the workplace – Ayisi Addo

Ghana News, Health & Wellbeing, Lifestyle & Social
The National AIDS/STI Control Programme’s (NACP) Programme Manager, Dr Stephen Ayisi Addo, has urged employers to create a workplace HIV/TB policy to help manage and treat employees who have the disease.  A workplace policy is crucial, according to Dr Ayisi Addo, because HIV was a problem that affected people who came to work and could potentially be contracted at the workplace.  “The workplace is a setting for social interaction and physical contact, which makes it possible for infectious diseases like COVID-19 and HIV to spread. Since HIV can be spread through the workplace, it must also be controlled there,” he emphasized.  Dr Ayisi Addo said this at the weekly, “Your Health! Our Collective Responsibility! A Ghana News Agency Tema Regional Office initiative aime...

Ghana News, Health & Wellbeing, Lifestyle & Social
Member of the Tema Secondary School Old Students Association (TOSA), Kwadwo Owusu Baah, has encouraged final year students in Senior High Schools to pay attention to advantages on social media to create passive income for themselves. Mr. Baah said this at a forum in Tema Secondary School dubbed “TOSA Tertiary Talks,” an initiative of TOSA that seeks to call on illustrious alumni of the school to encourage and present to the students a picture of life after school because most of them will graduate without any insight into what lies ahead of them. He said, at their stage, it was critical to identify who they wanted and didn’t want to become in life and seek to also identify ways of working and living that would not add unnecessary risk to their path. He told students that the evol...

Runway lighting stolen from Nigerian airport

Runway lighting stolen from Nigerian airport

Africa News
Thieves have stolen the lighting system for one of the runways at Nigeria’s busiest airport just months after it was installed, an airport authority spokesman has confirmed to the BBC. An investigation has now been launched to “arrest the criminals [and] recover what’s missing”, Yakubu Funtua added. It is not clear when the system was taken from Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos. But local media reported that airport workers were involved in the theft. The ground lights were installed in November, ending years of after-dusk restrictions on landing on that wing of the airport. Domestic carriers were forced to divert to the international section and taxi about 4km (2.5 miles) back to the right terminal, which caused flight disruptions. Mr Funtua told the BBC ...

Women urged to seek medical assistance early to avoid losing breast to cancer

Ghana News, Health & Wellbeing
The President of Breast Care International (BCI) has urged women to visit the hospital early to avoid losing their breasts. According to Dr. Beatrice Wiafe-Addai, many women avoid hospitals because of fear of losing their breasts, a scenario she sees as appalling. “A lot of women run away from the hospital because of Mastectomy, they don’t want to lose the breast we understand, so if you don’t want to lose the breast you have to come early to the hospital,” she urged. At a breast cancer screening program at the Assemblies of God Church, Dr. Wiafe-Addai encouraged women to take self-breast examination seriously, because the death rate is still on the rise.
