On Day 2 of the Joint Annual Review (JAR) conference, the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. @muhammadpate, announced that Cesarean sections will be offered free to all Nigerian women in need, as part of the new Maternal Mortality Reduction Innovation and Initiatives (MAMII) project.

MAMII aims to address Nigeria’s high maternal and neonatal mortality rates by improving access to quality healthcare, enhancing primary health care (PHC) services, and increasing community engagement.
