Kano State has recorded a significant decline in maternal mortality, with recent data showing deaths dropping from 1,025 to approximately 937 per 100,000 live births.
The Executive Director of West and Central Africa Health Options (WCAHEALTH), Dr. Ofuoma Omo-Obi, disclosed the figures Tuesday at a one-day stakeholders’ workshop in Kano reviewing lessons from the E-MOTIVE project.
He said the accelerating and expanded adoption of RMNCH Program ran from March 2024 to June 2026, funded through Bill, Melinda foundation and TA Connect.
