MRHC reports decline in traditional births, calls for wider skilled care

The Maternal and Reproductive Health Collective (MRHC) has reported a decline in the number of women relying on traditional birth attendants (TBAs) for delivery, following the implementation of its Iyaloju Initiative in Lagos State. The organisation, however, urged the government and stakeholders to intensify efforts to expand access to skilled maternal care, especially among low-income and vulnerable women.
