📺 Nigeria TV Info – Nigeria’s persistent economic hardship, deepening poverty, poor health infrastructure, and an underfunded healthcare financing system have been identified by maternal health experts as major factors fueling the country’s alarmingly high maternal mortality rate. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), Nigeria alone accounts for over 34% of the global maternal death burden. Experts say the situation is worsening as thousands of Nigerian women continue to die annually from preventable complications related to pregnancy and childbirth—deaths that could be avoided with better access to quality maternal healthcare.
