Mrs Aisha Buhari recently lamented on poor conditions of maternal and child health in Nigeria.
She said that the situation became possible due to the poor conditions of the primary healthcare facilities.
She expressed her concern at the inauguration of the 50-bed capacity Maternal and children clinic built and equipped by the Aisha Buhari Foundation in Daura, Katsina State.
”Let me reiterate that maternal and child mortality is a serious health challenge which requires support from all quarters before it can be tamed.”
She asked stakeholders and well-to-do Nigerians to put in their best and stop this mess by addressing the challenges women faced.
” Beyond diseases, the challenges women face trying to access medical care during pregnancy and childbirth are enormous and during childbirth, women are at their most vulnerable state; as such need a lot of attention and support.”
She also urged Katsina State Government to provide the necessary staff and logistics to enable the complex operate at maximum capacity.
