2022 Demographic Health Survey, conducted by the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) has disclosed that approximately 5% of Ghanaian men are not circumcised, accounting for around 835,000 individuals in the country.
The survey covers various aspects, including the prevalence of HIV/AIDS-related behaviours, STDs, health insurance, and health coverage.
It also highlights that 95% of Ghanaian men aged 15–49 have undergone circumcision, with religious, traditional, and cultural reasons being major contributing factors.
Godwin Odei Gyebi, the Acting Director of Demography at the Ghana Statistical Service, emphasised that this comprehensive set of indicators will provide valuable insights into the health and well-being of the population.
These insights are crucial for assessing progress towards the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets.
