Every pregnancy should be a time of hope, not fear. Yet for too many women in Nigeria, childbirth remains a high-risk experience. Nigeria has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world, with thousands of women dying each year from preventable complications during pregnancy or delivery.
Most of these deaths result from conditions such as severe bleeding, infections, hypertensive disorders, and unsafe childbirth practices. The lack of access to quality maternal care, skilled birth attendants, and emergency services worsens the situation particularly in rural communities.
HEALS believes that no woman should lose her life while giving life. We are dedicated to raising awareness about maternal health, antenatal care, and safe delivery. Every woman should be encouraged to register for antenatal services early in her pregnancy and to deliver with the help of trained professionals.
We also promote community education on nutrition during pregnancy, danger signs to watch for, and the importance of family support during and after childbirth. Improving maternal health is not just about saving lives it’s about building stronger, healthier families and communities.
If you are pregnant or planning to be, please visit your nearest health centre for antenatal registration today. Safe motherhood starts with knowledge, preparation, and care.
Live Right. Stay Healthy.
