UNICEF and Kano State Launch 1,096 New Health Workers to Tackle Maternal, Child Mortality

UNICEF has pledged enhanced support to Kano State in a bid to slash maternal and child deaths across 18 high-risk Local Government Areas. At a ceremony in the Kano State Primary Health Care Management Board, officials inaugurated 380 skilled birth attendants and 716 community-based health workers. These recruits will roll out the maternal, neonatal and child mortality reduction initiative across 200 wards under the MAMII and CBHW programmes. Health leaders say the move marks a key milestone toward Universal Health Coverage. Once professionalized, equipped and digitized, these frontline workers will deliver quality care directly to underserved communities, driving down mortality rates and strengthening primary healthcare in the state.
