Dr Faisal Shuaib, the Executive Director, National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) who spoke at an event organised by his agency in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and other development partners of the agency in Abuja, disclosed that 2,300 children die daily in Nigeria.Presenting his agency's  approach towards achieving reduction in maternal and child maternity rate at the primary health care and community levels in the country, the NPHCDA boss also said 145 women died daily from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth in the country. Punch reported he likened the number of deaths to having 16 plane crashes daily in Nigeria with no survivors.

He said the women and children that died daily in Nigeria hardly made the headlines because it often occurred in poor and vulnerable communities, stressing that the Federal Government’s target was to reduce the deaths by half by the year 2021.Dr Faisal Shuaib who revealed that 2,300 children die daily in Nigeria said at the event;

“One out of 10 children under five years old that dies in the world is a Nigerian and one out of every eight Nigerian children dies before his or her fifth birthday.“Having noted the high rate of maternal, newborn and under-five child mortality and the insufficiency of our current efforts to reverse the trend, I hereby declare a state of public health concern on maternal, newborn, and child deaths occurring at the primary health care and community levels.”
