The people of Sankwala community in Obanliku LGA of Cross River State embarked on protests during the weekend following the death of a middle-aged-woman, simply known as Rebecca, aka RB, during childbirth.
The woman reportedly died on Thursday as she was being attended to by a ward orderly at Sankwala General Hospital, when the only doctor had retired to sleep, having been exhausted. Findings showed that she was the third woman to die under such circumstances in the last few months in the same hospital. This development angered members of the community, who protested for two days.
He said, 'For about two days now, the media have been flooded with discouraging and heartbreaking pictures of a dead mother and child who both died during the sacred process of labour that lasted for over three days. 'It is however unbelievable to learn that two precious lives were lost due to similar circumstances that could have been averted by proper measures and appropriate medical attention.
