Nigeria among nations with worst indices in child, maternal health care —Minister

Dr. Osagie Ehanire, the minister of health, has acknowledged that Nigeria has some of the lowest health indicators for maternal and child care.

The minister stated this on Saturday at the South-South Zone Traditional Leaders’ Committee (SSTLC) on Primary Health Care Delivery’s inaugural meeting in Benin, Edo State.

Ehanire claimed that despite significant investment in health, this primarily occurs in rural regions with no access to healthcare but lots of ignorance.
