Anambra Governor’s wife, Mrs Nonye Soludo, has hailed the commencement of training of medical personnel on anti-shock garments use in Anambra as another bold step towards reducing maternal mortality.
Mrs Soludo, who was speaking in Awka during a review of the first day of the training, said she was hopeful that the process will be a big boost to the plans of the present administration to cut down the rate of maternal and natal mortalities to zero.
On October 17, 2023, the state government, through the efforts of the Governor’s wife, donated one hundred and twenty anti-shock garments to general hospitals and mission-owned health facilities in Anambra State.
The move, according to the Governor’s wife, was to avert after-birth deaths and improve trust in public health facilities in the state.
Commenting on the training for health care professionals who would operate the devices, Mrs Soludo expressed satisfaction with the intensity of the training and the commitment that has been shown by the trainees to lead the project.
She noted that while the state government is procuring more devices, she is looking forward to full usage of ones available for the benefit of mothers living in the state.
The governor’s wife maintained that the current administration is very deliberate in every strategy to reform the state’s health sector, pointing out that at the end of the day, it is expected that everyone living in the state will have easy access to quality and affordable health care service delivery.
Mrs Soludo, while commending the Anambra State Ministry of Health for how it is conducting the training, urged the trainees to see their current responsibility as a unique one that must be given total focus.
The governor’s wife also added that she will continue to lead and influence moves to implement basic health policies that will favour women and children in Anambra State.
