According to the organisation, the government must come to the conclusion that women’s lives deserved to be saved to reduce maternal deaths because, “no woman deserves to die while giving birth in the country.”
“Currently, according to Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey, it is 512. The recent WHO report showed that there was over 1000 women dying from 100,000 live births. We have to think as a country, how important are women’s lives. Are we even prioritizing them? So, I think collectively as a country, we have to decide that women’s lives are worth saving.
“So, when we think about maternal health care, it’s a journey, it’s nine months journey the woman goes through and throughout that nine-month journey, many issues that women may face at every step in her journey are very important”, she said. She said that the state leveraged the existence of community development committees to influence decisions and social behaviour, saying that had made a huge difference in maternal indices in Kebbi State.
