Doctoz, a UK-based organisation, has supported 50 pregnant women in Wase Local Government Area of Plateau to get improved healthcare services.

This was done under its lifesaving project called Rural Health Mission

Mr Ocholi Ogwu, the Doctoz’s Administration Officer said in a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday that the gesture was aimed at improving healthcare service delivery, especially in rural communities.

Ocholi said there was a need to improve maternal health through innovative family planning models with the view to improving services and increasing the number of family planning users in the country.

According to the statement, a midwife will be attending to the pregnant women in their houses to ensure that they are in good health before delivery and that they get postnatal care.

He urged the pregnant women to adhere strictly to counsel from health workers on their feeding habits, medications and other instructions on what they ought to observe to have safe deliveries.

He stated also that majority of pregnant women at the event expressed gratitude to the organisation and called on other organisations with similar programmes to attend to the welfare of expectant mothers.

The women also called on governments to help organisations keen on taking care of pregnant women by providing the necessary environment to ensure that they achieved their mission. (NAN)
