New Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai while addressing audience at
Kaduna Health Summit on Tuesday said that the state has the second highest HIV
prevalence in the country and sadly only 36 per cent of mothers have the
benefit of being attended to by skilled birth attendants.
In his speech, Governor El-Rufai said the present situation
is unacceptable.
“Kaduna State has the second highest HIV prevalence in the
country, and only 36 per cent of mothers have the benefit of being attended by
skilled birth attendants,” he said.
The governor also said the current coverage of measles
vaccine in the State is 56 per cent, reflecting dismal immunisation coverage
for 12-23 month-olds of only 35 per cent.
