She noted that maternal health challenges facing migrants, refugees and Internally displaced persons has attained a worrisome stage, "the IDP camps does not have access to portable drinking water, midwifery and other health care services.

"It is very obvious that children born in this atmosphere may be susceptible to anaemia, jaundice and malnourishment.

"There's no doubt about it that children born under this condition may grow up to be leaders of tomorrow. This is why all hands must be on deck to address these anomaly,"

She continued that; "Increased philanthropic efforts should be targeted towards humanitarian and maternal health crisis facing migrants, refugees and internally displaced persons." She urged.
