The first conference of the African Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (AFRICTRIMS) recently ended in Accra.

A urologist at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra Dr Yaw Amoah has explained that uncontrolled hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, can contribute to Erectile Dysfunction (ED), a condition that affects a man's ability to achieve or maintain an erection.

In an interview with The Mirror in Accra last Thursday, he said hypertension could gradually damage and narrow blood vessels throughout the body, including those that supply blood to the penis. 

Queen of Highlife, Asabia Cropper, exudes grace and charm anytime she takes to the stage and she was in her element once again at the last Highlife Heritage Monthly Concert on June 13 at the Backpass Restaurant in Accra.

Backed by the New Ramblers Band led by Jerry Hanson Jr at the free concert, Queen Asabia sang, played her soprano saxophone and talked about how important our music and culture are to our identity as a people.

As a long-time observer of Africa's vibrant travel landscape, I have often considered South Africa's remarkable journey from apartheid to a beacon of democracy and a powerhouse of tourism.

However, the shadow of xenophobic violence has threatened to eclipse this hard-won glory, leaving a bitter taste in the mouth of many potential visitors, especially those from within our own continent.

The origin of Father's Day is not entirely clear, but many attribute it to Sonora Smart Dodd, whose mother died while giving birth to her.

In an act of bravery and devotion, her father, a war veteran, single-handedly raised her and her five siblings on a farm in Washington.

As an adult, Sonora reflected on the heroic role her father had played in her life and, in 1910, organised a special day to honour all fathers. 

Friday, June 19, 2026, was celebrated worldwide as World Sickle Cell Awareness Day.

This global initiative highlights the urgent need to eliminate healthcare disparities and improve access to life-saving treatments across all income levels and regions.

Fittingly then, the theme for this year’s observance is “Closing the Survival Gap: Equity in Sickle Cell Care."

Fathers are pillars. A family rests on their shoulders. With their hands, they mould the future of their spouse and children. A father’s presence binds a family together.

Like a wall, it surrounds a home. No home is ever the same in the absence of a father. For every home that is built, a father is its foundation. 

Fatherhood is a responsibility. It is a duty to raise responsible children for society. Many children go astray in the absence of their fathers.  

Families across the country and the world at large will celebrate Father's Day tomorrow.

To mark the occasion, The Mirror is organising a special buffet lunch with live band music and other activities at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra.

Traditional Father's Day gifts, such as watches, belts, wallets, hampers, perfumes and grooming kits, remain popular.

However, a number of fathers say what they value most are experiences that allow them to spend quality time with their loved ones and create lasting memories.

A memorable Father's Day celebration awaits families at the Labadi Beach Hotel tomorrow as the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) Band indicates its readiness to light up the atmosphere at The Mirror’s buffet lunch.

For many people on social media, he is known as “Repɛlla”, a tech entrepreneur who regularly supports students with laptops, donates to communities and lends a helping hand to people in need.

But beyond the generosity and business success lies a role he considers his most important—being a father.

A husband and father of three children, the CEO, Melvic Technologies & Rep3lla, Victor Elorm Morgah, describes fatherhood not as a title but as a responsibility. 

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into teaching, learning and research, quality assurance expert and Director of the Global Quality Assurance Association (GQAA)Dr Violet Makuku, has urged African universities to develop and re-evaluate systems that will support its effective use.

Isn’t it interesting that when it rains in Accra in recent times, folks switch to survival mode? Elsewhere, earthquakes, typhoons and hurricanes are the curse.

Here, one could say we only deal with floods. Evidently, it is the way we have been handling our built environment.

The question is: how should the tourism industry respond to such calamities? Of course, the interest of not only tourists but also residents is important here.

In Ghanaian culture, marriage is often regarded as a key milestone of adulthood.

It is, therefore, not surprising that studies suggest that by age 38, only a small percentage of Ghanaian women have never been married.

Yet, while many people enter relationships with hopes of finding lasting love, some experience repeated break-ups, multiple marriages or divorce.

Dear Mirror Lawyer, I am writing to seek clarification regarding the will of my late uncle, Mr Kwame Asante.

He was a visually impaired man who passed away in 2023. Before his death, Mr Asante dictated his will to his neighbour, Mr Mensah, who wrote it down and read it aloud to him in the presence of two witnesses, Mr Osei and Mrs Adjei.

For 38 years, Madam Grace Ackah has crossed the River Amalzuley almost every day just so children in Bakanta in the Ellembelle District of the Western Region can access education.

Through heavy rains, overflowing waters and years of teacher shortages, she stayed committed to the community where she was born and raised, dedicating her life to ensuring that children moved beyond fishing into the classroom.

Any baby with untreated severe jaundice is at risk of brain damage from the jaundice. This does not in any way mean that every baby with jaundice will develop brain damage.

Brain damage resulting from jaundice depends on the severity of the condition, the rate at which it develops, the level of bilirubin in the bloodstream, and the integrity of the blood-brain barrier.

An Accra Circuit Court has sentenced a Nigerian trader, Ada Peace, to seven years imprisonment for human trafficking and immigration offences.
