‘Allow professionals to help you’
Dr Constantini
A consultant Obstetrician Gynaecologist, Dr. Dixie Constantini, has said that some deaths among women, relating to gynaecological problems and child birth could have been prevented if they had sought for help from their doctors.
Speaking with The Spectator on Sunday, Dr. Constantini said the little knowledge about the human body, false and misleading information on social media and the blatant exploitation of women seeking medical assistance have contributed to make a number of women shy away from the medical professionals to seek for help.
This, according to Dr. Constantini, poses a threat to women who she advised to always seek help from the trained medical professionals in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
“An Obstetrician Gynaecologist is the best doctor for you if you have any women-related issues. It takes lots of years of dedication to become one,” she said.
She narrated how a young lady lost her life due to her ignorance about ectopic pregnancy.
“Instead of seeking medical attention, she resorted to prayer, believing to have a safe period of pregnancy and delivery but it ruptured and took her life.”
She said ectopic pregnancies (a pregnancy in which the fetus develops outside the uterus, typically in a fallopian tube) are dangerous and needed to be dealt with in the hospital.
According to Dr Constantini, such things must not happen in this day and age and as a result has created a Facebook on which she has reached out to thousands of women all over the world to educate them for free for over four years.
Some of the notable topics discussed over the years were Postpartum Depression, Caesarean Session, Vaginal Steaming, InVitro Fertilisation (IVF), Egg Donation and the need for male involvement in the pregnancy journey.
She said their expertise cannot be replaced by Google because the body of a woman was more complex than one thinks.
With almost a decade of practice, she noted that every mother needed to talk to an Obstetrician Gynaecologist at least once during their pregnancy.

The Diaspora Affairs Office at the Office of the President has hosted a delegation of African diaspora women who are in Ghana ahead of a planned Presidential Conferment of Citizenship ceremony.
The Director of Diaspora Affairs, Kofi Okyere Darko, explained in a Facebook post that the visit was a gesture of appreciation by the delegation to the Government of Ghana for its continued efforts to reconnect Africans in the diaspora with their ancestral homeland.
He indicated that the ceremony, scheduled for next Monday, will officially grant Ghanaian citizenship to members of the delegation as part of the country’s broader engagement with the African diaspora.
The delegation was led by Erica Bennett, Founder of the Diaspora Africa Forum.
According to Mr Okyere Darko, her years of advocacy have played an important role in strengthening ties between Africa and people of African descent living abroad.
He noted that the group’s journey towards citizenship represents not only a legal process but also a cultural and spiritual return to their roots.
Also present at the meeting was Natalie Jackson, an attorney who is also expected to receive Ghanaian citizenship during the ceremony. She works closely with renowned civil rights lawyer Ben Crump.
Mr Okyere Darko emphasised that Ghana remains committed to strengthening relationships with the African diaspora and promoting unity, identity, and shared heritage among people of African descent worldwide.

Ghana Tourism Authority is leading Ghana’s participation at ITB Berlin, which opened in Berlin with a vibrant national pavilion highlighting Ghana’s rich cultural heritage, tourism destinations and investment opportunities.
March 5 has been designated as Ghana Day, a special platform to promote Ghana’s languages, cuisine, Kente, festivals and business prospects to the global tourism community. The stand has already drawn strong interest with traditional arts and crafts displays, immersive multimedia presentations and popular Ghanaian snacks.
Seven private-sector players are exhibiting alongside government officials as part of efforts to deepen trade partnerships, expand market access, and attract investment across the hospitality, heritage tourism, ecotourism, and creative arts sectors.
Ahead of the official opening, the Ghana delegation also engaged young Ghanaian investors in Germany in collaboration with V Afrika-Verein and the Ghana Embassy, strengthening diaspora investment linkages and highlighting opportunities within the tourism value chain.
