Ali Pate, minister of health and social welfare, says the federal government has designated 154 health facilities nationwide to provide free treatment for women with obstetric complications.
Pate made the announcement on Friday during his appearance
on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television.
The minister also announced 18 centres across the nation for
free treatment of vesicovaginal fistula (VVF).
An obstetric complication is a difficulty or abnormality
that arises during the process of labour or delivery.
Obstetric complications are disruptions or disorders that
can occur during pregnancy, labour, delivery, or the early postpartum period,
affecting the health of the mother or baby.
Common examples include preeclampsia, gestational diabetes,
preterm labour, and postpartum hemorrhage.
Pate said the health and well-being of Nigerians are
fundamental to President Bola Tinubu’s vision, prioritising reduced maternal
deaths by ensuring no woman dies due to inability to afford treatment.
