Ondo To Improve Birth Attendants Proficiency In Child Delivery

The Ondo State Government has said it is ready to improve the proficiency of birth attendants in the state to boost their efficiency in child delivery.

The Special Adviser to the State Governor on Health Matters, Prof.  Dayo Faduyile, made the promise when the Missionary Birth Attendants Association of Nigeria, Ondo State Chapter, paid him a courtesy visit on Wednesday in Akure.

“My office in conjunction with the Ministry of Health will meet to work out a realistic workshop for the association to improve your proficiency.

“I will also contact the Office of the First Lady to register the interest of the association to be involved in the ‘SO LAYO’ programme.

“Within my capacity, I will launch out the association to the government circle so as to benefit in the dividends of democracy,” he said."

Earlier, Ruth Arisoyin, the association’s President in the state, said the association had informed the state government on the need for it to organise regular workshops for the association’s members.

Arisoyin further explained that such workshops would enhance the association's members in child delivery.

She also urged the special adviser to use his office in assisting the association so that the government would heed its request.
