Ghanaian medical service company, Incas Diagnostics, has given its female employees much-needed support.
The company, which worked with the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) to develop the rapid test kits for COVID-19, is implementing a progressive policy to give its female employees time away from work during their menstruation period.
This is not a menstruate banishment policy, rather it gives women a chance to take time off work to get through their painful menstrual cycle.
The company announced that female employees will get two-days leave when they are experiencing cramps during their monthly cycle.
While they take their two-days leave, they will still be paid their full salaries.
