This paper seeks to address the increasing cases of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and its relation to women drinking during pregnancy. The paper discusses the background of this issue and provides recommendations which could be implemented to solve this public health issue. Children born with FASD have learning difficulties and this means that the government will have set up more special schools to cater for their education needs. Failure to solve this public health problem will also result to the children facing difficulties in their social lives. The government can overcome this problem by improving access to treatment, reducing access and consumption of health among women in the childbearing age, enacting laws requiring alcohol manufacturers to publish information on labels indicating the dangers of pregnant women using alcohol, and increasing community knowledge and awareness about the harms and effects of drinking alcohol during pregnancy.
