The Federal Government has designated 154 health facilities across Nigeria to offer free treatment to women facing obstetric complications.
These facilities are equipped to provide care for women experiencing health challenges during pregnancy, labour, delivery, or the postpartum period, ensuring the well-being of both mother and baby.
Professor Ali Pate, the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, made the announcement on Friday during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today. He emphasized that the selected facilities are staffed with qualified personnel, adhere to high standards, and are equipped with modern medical technology to ensure quality care.
In addition to the obstetric services, the government has identified 18 centres nationwide to offer free treatment for vesicovaginal fistula (VVF), a condition that can occur during childbirth.
