He said malnourished pregnant women could deliver babies with low birth weight and this could result in stunted growth and compromised mental capacities. Dr. Zotor said this at a day’s forum on “Open Ghana: Data Journalism for Improved Maternal Healthcare Delivery” in Ho for media practitioners, civil society organizations, community-based organizations, health officials and the academia. The forum was organised by the International Institute of ICT Journalism-Penplusbytes with support from STAR-Ghana.
