These statistics are truly alarming and unfortunate as it has been recognised that so many of these deaths are preventable and should not be occurring in this modern age. However, explanations to these figures began to emerge as it was revealed that approximately two-thirds of all the Nigerian women and three-quarters of rural women deliver their babies outside health facilities, and without skilled birth attendants.
This revelation may suggest that changing behavioural patterns of the women has the potential to save women. But how do we influence a shift from the norm?
