High rate of infant mortality unacceptable - Saraki

Date: 2016-09-19

The Nigeria's Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, has raised the alarm over the current ratio 1-15 infant mortality rate in the country noting that such situation is too high and unacceptable to the people of the country.

Saraki gave this indica­tion at the weekend in Ilorin while speaking at the com­missioning of the Mogaji Ngeri Basic Health Centre comprehensively renovated by a member representing Ilorin Central Constituency in the Kwara State House of Assembly, Hajia Segilola AbdulKadir.

He was represented at the event by the former Ma­jority Leader of the Kwara State House of Assembly, Alh Kayode Omotoshe in­sisting that the trend could be reversed if all tiers of government, corporate or­ganisations and wealthy individuals were commit­ted to effective primary healthcare delivery, saying that America attained ratio 1-250 Child Mortality rate due to political-will by the American Government.

In his remark, the State Governor, Alh AbdulFatah Ahmed described primary healthcare as a bedrock of effective healthcare deliv­ery.

The Governor repre­sented by the State Com­missioner for Health Alh Atolagbe Alege said it was in realisation of this that he appointed Executive Sec­retary for primary health­care service in the state and stressed the need for adequate support for the primary healthcare health sector to check infant mor­tality rate.

He then praised Hon Se­gilola Abdul Kadir for her commitment towards im­proving the well-being of the people of her constitu­ency.
