KADUNA, Nigeria, (January 20, 2015) – Over 1,800 women die annually in Kaduna State, northwest Nigeria in pregnancy and childbirth delivery related cases.

This was stated by the Kaduna State Team Leader of a Gates Foundation funded non-governmental organisation, Nigerian Urban Reproductive Health Initiative, NURHI, Malam Kabir Mohammed Abdullahi.

He announced this in a chat with AFRICAPRIME NEWS reporter in Kaduna.

Abdullahi who expressed dismay with the figure however said collaborative efforts are on by governments and NGOs to address the cases of maternal deaths.

He called on governments at all levels to invest in family planning, a time tested strategy that reduces the figure by more than 30% in many countries.
