The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has reported that 91% of women in Rivers State give birth with the assistance of skilled birth attendants.
UNICEF Health Manager, Dr. Martin Dohlsten, disclosed this on Tuesday in Port Harcourt during a media dialogue on neonatal healthcare, childhood illnesses, and vaccination.
Dohlsten further noted that, in contrast, only 46% of women across Nigeria overall deliver with the help of doctors, nurses, or midwives.
