Enugu State government has urged pregnant and nursing mothers to make use of the modern and equipped health facilities in their various rural areas instead of quacks and traditional birth attendants that are not properly trained in child delivery.
Ifenyinwa Ani Osheki, executive secretary and CEO of Enugu State Primary Development Agency, made the call during the 2025 First Round of Maternal Newborn and Child Health Week Plus HPV organized by Enugu State Primary HealthCare Development Agency, state Ministry of Health in collaboration with UNICEF and funding support from GAVI.
The event, which took place at Umueze Primary Healthcare Centre Nkanu West Local Government, was well attended by pregnant and nursing mothers who were given various gifts including Multiple Micro Nutrient Supplement Drug.
