Kwara State Govt Trains 25 Medical Staff to Reduce Maternal Mortality Rates
The Kwara State Government has initiated a specialised training programme for 25 medical personnel, focusing on comprehensive emergency obstetric and newborn care (CEMONC) to enhance the safety of mothers and infants during childbirth.
According to LEADERSHIP Friday, the programme is designed to contribute to the reduction of maternal mortality rates within the state.
During the launch of the 14-day training in Ilorin, the Commissioner for Health, Dr Amina El-Imam, stated that the initiative aims to improve the safety of pregnant women and newborns while addressing maternal mortality concerns, particularly during deliveries. This effort underscores the government's commitment to strengthening healthcare services and ensuring better outcomes for expectant mothers and their children.
“The essence of the training is to equip those on the frontline, experts in obstetrics and healthcare, to further improve their skills. This training will enhance your clinical skills and competence, among others. It will also help you more in leadership. It is high time to groom leaders to match your technical skills with current reality; now is the time to train other professionals in the field”, she added.
El-Imam spoke about the government's efforts at upscaling healthcare delivery in the state and disclosed that the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) has approved five facilities in Kwara State to be at the frontline of fighting maternal mortality and providing caesarian sections for free in the state.
She noted that the gesture is connected to the government's efforts to ensure access to free medical services across the state.
The UNICEF representative, Dr Hadiza Aliyu, commended the state government for bringing quality healthcare services to the doorsteps of residents.
She expressed delight that the state under the state government has created an enabling environment for development partners to work, especially in the health sector.
