conducted a comprehensive health outreach to 200 pregnant women Oyo state.In a statement, the organisation said it observed a low uptake of antenatal care services among the women in the community at the primary healthcare centre.
“A noteworthy incident occurred when Mrs Moromoke Ajayi, pregnant with twins and previously devoid of antenatal care, went into labour during the outreach.“Despite complications, the Gynix Afrika team together with health providers at the PHC rendered swift and effective assistance, successfully resuscitating the affected twin and arranging immediate expert care in a nearby teaching hospital for her.
Oyewumi said the goal is to bridge the gap in antenatal care by providing vital education, screenings, consultations, and birthing kits to ensure safe pregnancy and childbirth for the mothers.“This is true to the organisation’s mission to extend essential knowledge, preventive care, and quality treatment as an effective strategy for reducing high maternal mortality rates; and promoting the physical, mental, and social well-being of women in Africa,” he said.
