Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta on Thursday decried the dearth of qualified medical personnel, saying it was a major contributor to the high rate of child and maternal mortality in Nigeria
Mr Oborevwori said this during the flag-off of the first round of 2023 Maternal and Newborn Health Week in Asaba.
According to him, the situation is aggravated by health system gaps, challenges, low-quality care, inadequate utilisation of available health facilities and lack of access to essential medicines among others.
