Nigeria: Progress in move against child,maternal mortality

The country of Nigeria is make steady progress in decreasing  child mortality rate. On  April thirteenth, the Minister of Women Affairs, Hajiya Zainab Maina, announce to the public that their is a steady progress in the reduction of child, maternal mortality  rate in the country.  According to Maina, “we are half way to meeting the 2015 target for infant mortality rate and one-third from the under fives mortality rate”. Nigeria  has had many struggles in the past on the massive increase of mortality rate and the number of  deaths due to economic instability. Basically, their are to many mouth to feed and not enough food to go around. In many cases,  a woman die during child birth are not receiving the proper assistance and live in very poor villages were sanitation and lack of medication cause deaths.  Maina has worked with her minister to provide boat ambulances to the reverine areas . Members of the Women Affairs distribute Mama Kits during advocacy visits to various states, support the training of specialized health personnel, and more importantly provide supplies used during labor to ensure the safety of the mother and her child. Maina help to  Integrate Maternal and Child Health Strategy, Midwifery Service Scheme, the Conditional Cash Transfer for Pregnant Women to encourage skilled birth attendants and Immunization for children, and the SURE-P Maternal Project. I am glad to see the government work with their people and provide equipment and service to decrease the amount of child, maternal mortality rate. Maina advocates an ongoing determinism to save hundreds of lives. Child labor is a excruciating experience for a woman to go through and during this event, the midwife must take cautionary steps to ensure the safety of the child and the mother and to do so, the midwife must have proper training and the proper "sterilized" equipment. Nigeria has provided these essential things for child birth to go swiftly. Keep up the progress!
