The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Professor Ali Pate, announced 154 health facilities across Nigeria for free treatment of women who have obstetric complications.
He said this while responding to questions on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Friday night.
He explained that obstetric complications are health problems or difficulties that arise during pregnancy, labour, delivery, or the postpartum period, potentially affecting the mother’s or baby’s well-being.
According to Professor Pate, the Federal Government has enlisted 154 health facilities across Nigeria for free treatment of women who have obstetric complications to reduce financial pressures on families and save the life of mothers and children.
Similarly, he said 18 centres across the nation are providing free treatment of vesicovaginal fistula (VVF).
Below are the list of 154 facilities where women can get free treatment for obstetric complications.
