The statement was uploaded on the official X account of the Presidential Media Team on Thursday.
The announcement was made by the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Muhammad Pate, on day 2 of the Joint Annual Review (JAR) conference.
Prof said, “This initiative is part of the new Maternal Mortality Reduction Innovation and Initiatives (MAMII) project.”
He highlighted the government’s commitment to improving maternal and neonatal health in Nigeria.
He noted, “Nigeria continues to face significant health challenges, with maternal mortality at 512 deaths per 100,000 live births and neonatal mortality at 41 deaths per 1,000 live births.
“The country also has a low uptake of essential health services.
” MAMII aims to reduce these rates by improving access to quality healthcare, strengthening primary health care (PHC) services, and fostering greater community engagement in healthcare initiatives.”
