Nigerian Doctor Leads Campaign to Ban Church Births
尼日利亚医生呼吁禁止“教堂婴”
Dr. Linda Ayade, the wife of Nigeria’s Cross River state governor, is leading a campaign to put an end to church births in Nigeria. According to a recent BBC news report, the practice of choosing a church instead of a health facility for giving birth is still very common in many Nigerian states. Many women who choose this option are deeply religious. They choose to put their faith in God and a traditional birth attendant instead of a hospital. Dr. Ayade wants to see this practice banned and hopes that a new law will reduce the rate of maternal mortality in her country. Nigeria currently has one of the highest rates of maternal mortality in the world.
