Stakeholders in the health sector have solicited for increased sensitization of Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs) to enhance their supportive roles across Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) in Anambra State .
They said integrating TBAs into the state PHC system would significantly reduce maternal and infant mortality.
The stakeholders included Community Empowerment Network (COMEN), Justice Development and Peace Caritas (JDPC), Social and Integral Development Centre (SIDEC) Ward Development Committees (WDCs) and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) with support from IBP.
Speaking during a Strengthening Public Accountability for Result and Knowledge (SPARK 2) Town Hall Meeting in Awka, with pregnant women, nursing mothers, and others, Director of SIDEC, Ugochi Ehiahuruike said the aim was to support government in its fight against maternal and child health mortality in the state.
