John Yalmon Badengbanoya

John Yalmon Badengbanoya serves as the Upper East Regional Registrar of the Births and Deaths Registry in Ghana. Recently, he has been in the news due to concerns about the low registration rates of births in the region, as only 36.9 percent of expected births were recorded in the first half of the year, leaving a significant gap of 7,560 unregistered children. Badengbanoya highlighted the challenges faced by the registry, including a lack of logistics and resources, and is advocating for government support to improve the situation.
