Oral polio vaccine is administered to a one-day old child in Ethiopia.
One-day-old Musa Mohammed is administered an Oral Polio Vaccine at a UNICEF-supported health center in Homosha, in the remote Benishangul-Gumuz region of Ethiopia, Tuesday 16 January 2018. Despite remaining above the national average, Benishangul-Gumuz's newborn mortality rate fell by nearly 50 per cent between 2000 and 2016, from 65 deaths for every 1,000 live births to 35 deaths for every 1,000 live births. The improvement is due in part to health centers such as this one. Despite numerous challenges, including limited running water and refrigeration, dedicated doctors, nurses and midwives are able to provide comprehensive pre and postnatal care, delivery support and other lifesaving services for mothers and babies in the area.

On Sunday, the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Pastor Umo Eno, sent his condolences to the family of a young mother and her newborn who died after a cesarean delivery at the General Hospital in Ikot Ekpene.

She added that doctors came only after it was too late and asked Governor Eno to investigate what happened.In the statement on Sunday, the Commissioner said the Governor asked him to quickly create a strong investigation team with medical and legal experts to find out what really happened and suggest ways to stop this from happening again.

Following the Governor’s order, the Commissioner said he and his team from the Health Ministry went to the hospital at 12:10 a.m. on Sunday to begin an early investigation and hear directly from those involved.

Dr. John said Governor Eno’s government is strongly committed to protecting the lives of mothers and children.

He explained that this is why the Governor had already made reducing the death of mothers during childbirth one of the main goals of his government.

The statement added that in recent months, the Governor has shown his commitment by improving hospitals, hiring trained medical staff, and making emergency services better.

The Health Ministry promised the public that the investigation will be fair and open, and if anyone is found guilty of carelessness, they will be punished according to government and professional rules.

They asked the public to stay calm and patient while the government works hard to find out the truth and improve care for mothers and babies in Akwa Ibom.
