Gates foundation, Nigerian groups to tackle maternal death
Nigeria under the International Federation of Gynaecologists and Obstetrics, has embarked on a three-year advocacy intervention project to reduce the rising cases of maternal and neonatal deaths in Nigeria.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of a three-day workshop on leadership and management development training for SOGON national and subnational leadership on Wednesday in Abuja, Dr Sadauki said, ‘’The project aims to serve as the leading voice for women’s health in Nigeria by scaling up evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage with tranexamic acid and preeclampsia/eclampsia with magnesium sulphate.
The World Health Organization reports that Nigeria’s mortality rate is the highest in the world, with 814 deaths per 100,000 live births, far exceeding the African regional average of 525 deaths per 1000 live births.
