Maternal and Perinatal Mortality are Obstetric and neonatal tragedies worldwide. Of the global Maternal Mortality occurrences, the vast majority occur in low-resource settings and Nigeria accounts for nearly 20% of the global death. The lifetime risk of dying in Nigeria is 1 in 22 during pregnancy, childbirth or postpartum period compared to 1 in 4,900 in most developed countries. The causes of maternal mortality include Pre-eclampsia /Eclampsia (PEE), obstructed labor, postpartum hemorrhage, puerperal sepsis and abortion complications. These causes are treatable and preventable when labour is supervised by Skilled Birth...

Nigeria is grappling with a severe nutrition crisis. The Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS 2024) reports that 40% of children under five are stunted, 8% are wasted, and 27% are underweight. Micronutrient deficiencies remain widespread, with more than half of women of reproductive age suffering from anaemia, alongside persistent vitamin A and iron deficiencies. These challenges are compounded by high maternal and child mortality rates, with 512 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births (NDHS 2018), 110 under-five deaths per 1,000 live births, and 41 neonatal deaths per 1,000 live births (NDHS 2024). Many of these deaths are linked to preventable conditions such as sepsis, intrapartum...

A 3-day standardization meeting precedes the training; this will tend to harmonize the training modules, tools and agree on how the various modules will be taken and who will handle each state. The training will be held at two levels; the first level will be for healthcare...

Nigeria has set an ambitious target to achieve at least 80% coverage for all routine immunization antigens Nationally and in every state by 2027, with a strong focus on reducing zero dose and under immunized children. This requires a resilient PHC system, skilled health workforce, robust cold chain and logistics, and a strong culture of data use for action. The Nigeria Strategy for Immunization and PHC System Strengthening (NSIPSS) 2023 2027 provides the National roadmap to realize these goals and emphasizes integrated service delivery, sustainable domestic financing,optimized micro planning, and equity focused approaches to reach urban slums, hard to reach and marginalized populations.
