The Nigerian Government has strengthened maternal and newborn healthcare delivery in Anambra State with the provision of essential medical equipment aimed at enhancing emergency healthcare services and reducing preventable deaths among mothers and newborns. The support, provided under the Sector-Wide Approach (SWAp) programme, is designed to improve the capacity of selected health facilities to deliver comprehensive emergency maternal and newborn care. The Anambra State SWAp Desk Officer, Dr Obi Chioma, said the intervention was targeted at reducing maternal and newborn mortality by improving hospitals’ capacity to manage emergency obstetric cases and newborn complications. The beneficiary facilities are General Hospital Nnobi, General Hospital Enugwu-Ukwu, General Hospital Umueri, General Hospital Ekwulobia and General Hospital Umunze, covering the three senatorial districts of the state. Improving access to emergency obstetric and newborn care remains critical to reducing preventable deaths, promoting safer deliveries and advancing the country’s health development goals.
