Commissioner for Health, Dr Tomi Coker, stated this at the on-boarding of the state Emergency Medical Service and Ambulance System into NEMSAS, on Tuesday in Abeokuta.
She said that the partnership would facilitate a steady decrease in maternal mortality and longevity of residents of the state.
Coker noted that improving maternal and child health, which was one of the important tangents of the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare’s four-point agenda, would be possible where there was an effective emergency response.
