The National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) has declared a state of public health concern on maternal newborn and child death occurring at the primary health centres.

Similar declaration is expected in states in the next few days to track maternal and child mortality.

Nigeria has one of the worst records in maternal and child mortality in the world. It is recorded that in Nigeria approximately 145 women under the age of 15-45 die from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth while 2300 children under five years old die mainly from preventable causes.

Consequently, the agency said it will establish a national coordination centre within the agency to provide oversight on the outlined activities.

The centre, according to the Executive Director of the agency, Dr. Fasal Shuaib shall be called the National Emergency Maternal and Child Health Intervention Centre. (NEMCHIC). Already, the country has received support worth $1.3l million which is to be matched by the government $1.97 million for the next ten years. This fund is to support the country’s immunization programme as part of the effort to reduce maternal and child mortality in Nigeria.

The states also assured of their buy-in to ensure that the initiative achieves its purpose.

Why not emergency rule in Zamfara where scores of Nigerians are being killed daily?

It's long overdue.

Is this true in the real world?

The only emergency worth noting is when Buhari himself stops medical tourism.

He can't be declaring emergency while he flees to the UK when ever he experiences the slightest medical issue.

This deception only works for the B-zoned wailers.

Are they mad ?

What emergency?

Isn’t this about funding and making sure the funds are not pocketed by politician ?

What’s emergency abt that?

Rubbish people

Is this true in the real world?

yes in Nigeria. Ok u forgot Curt martial ask Obasanjo son

Good move o...Security, education, morality should follow

He should declare emergency on other things that aren't working right in the country too.

Emergency without any concrete solution on the ground. Ask them now, they will tag implementation to one budgetary allocation that is yet to be released and not sure when it will.

What emergency? If they could not build functional primary health centers equipped and staffed with competent hands, what emergency are they talking about?

Most of the maternal and neonatal mortality arises from lack of adequate care and management from competent health service providers not necessarily from disease or infection.

What about primary education? He purpose declare emergency in primary education in Nigeria not only health.

Talkm is cheap. We have been declaring emergencies on public health, education and power since 1900. Maybe we should stop declaring emergencies and just work

Na today?

Declare a general state of Emergency in d health sector... Let d President stop going to London for ordinary medical check up and den let's see if hospital won't upgrade by force

Those indices are majorly in the Northern part of Nigeria. They should be specific.

look at the monetary figures assigned for the project. 1.9M for 10years. is this for panadol or pure water?

For where!
