Kaduna (Nigeria)- A 29 year old housewife, Hadiza Kassimu, from Kabobo, a village in Igabi local government area of Kaduna State, northwest of the country has given birth to nine (9) children and in dire need of child birth spacing.

The village with about 1,200 inhabitants mostly farmers, is 27 kilometers from Kaduna, the state capital and lacks essential basic amenities that could make life more meaningful.

According to her, the women know nothing about family planning or go for antenatal during pregnancy as well as having children immunized at their early years thereby exposed to all manners of diseases.

Speaking when health care givers from the  School of Health Science, Kaduna visited there on free medical sensitization on the importance of antenatal, she said, “I seriously desire to go on child birth spacing because l want to rest and look beautiful like other women who practice child birth spacing.

“I am tired of giving birth to children without having rest, as you can see me, l need rest and more so l am still very young, l want to look more healthier as l am now.”

Other women also expressed their desire to embrace  child birth spacing, stressing, “We don’t know who will put us through so that we can have rest in giving birth to children all the times.

“We need people that will properly educate our men too to know the importance of child birth spacing and to also appreciate what we the women are passing in giving birth to children all the times.”

Earlier, the Director of the School, Maryam Abubakar, said the sensitization was meant to help the women embrace antenatal and other necessary things a woman needs to do before, during and after pregnancy.

She promised to train any girl from the community in the School of Health Science, to become more enlightened and give back to her community of how best women and young girls could live healthy lives.

The community leader, Adamu Isah Kabobo, thanked the School for coming to enlighten their women on how to  live healthier lives .

He called on the state government to provide the community with at least a clinic to alleviate the suffering of the people that have to travel long distance to be able to receive medical treatment.

“Women have suffered untold hardships especially pregnant women who only depend on local methods of child delivery” he added.
