NMA Warns Against Rushing Conclusions on Maternal Deaths in Akwa Ibom
The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) in Akwa Ibom State cautioned against hasty conclusions following recent maternal and infant deaths at the General Hospital in Ikot Ekpene. Dr. Aniekan Peter, the NMA state chairman, expressed concern over the cases and highlighted the need for improved maternal healthcare.
The NMA embarked on a sensitization campaign to educate pregnant women on safe delivery practices. The tragic incident at Ikot Ekpene General Hospital, where a woman and her baby died during childbirth, prompted Governor Umo Eno to initiate a panel of inquiry to investigate the circumstances.
The NMA continues to advocate for better welfare packages and morale for medical professionals in the state.
