Gender Barriers Threaten Maternity Services Across Northern Nigeria

12 Dec 2023  |  www.nigeriainfo.fm
Gender barriers are threatening maternity services across Northern Nigeria, where socio-cultural and religious factors prevent women from receiving medical care from male healthcare providers. This has led to inadequate female skilled birth attendants and a gender imbalance in the health sector. Incidents such as a man divorcing his wife for being attended by a male doctor during childbirth highlight the severity of the issue. The reluctance of men to allow male workers to treat their wives, even for simple tasks like checking blood pressure, has resulted in a concentration of female health workers in urban areas, leaving rural areas underserved. Efforts to address the imbalance include enrolling only female students in midwifery schools and introducing community midwifery programs. Despite these initiatives, the Maternal Mortality Ratio remains alarmingly high in the region, and the shortage of midwives is acute, with the UNFPA reporting that Nigeria needs 70,000 more midwives to tackle the deficit. The article also discusses the role of traditional birth attendants and the state governments' struggle to train female healthcare providers while balancing cultural and religious barriers.

How Poor Primary Health Care Increases Maternal Mortality in Kano

01 Oct 2023  |  www.nigeriainfo.fm

The COVID Racket: How Health Workers Dump Vaccines to Cover Fraudulent Card Issuance

12 Jul 2023  |  www.nigeriainfo.fm
A growing racket in Nigeria involves health workers issuing fraudulent COVID-19 vaccination cards to travelers without administering the vaccine. The scheme, prevalent at various health centers and airports, is driven by financial incentives and facilitated by backdating records and discarding unused vaccines. Key figures include Alemeke Bright, a ringleader at Lagos Airport, and Esther Monday, a health official in Rivers State. Despite government awareness and task forces, enforcement is weak due to logistical challenges. The fraudulent activities undermine public health efforts and could devalue Nigeria's COVID-19 vaccination data internationally.
