Liberia: WhatsApp Method to be Used in Reducing Maternal Mortality During C-Section
Share
MONROVIA – Researchers at the University of Liberia, the University of Michigan and the University of Ghana, are working together to ensure that expectant mothers in Liberia have a safer childbirth experience through the connective power of WhatsApp. The researchers said during emergencies, cesarean sections, also known as C-Sections can be a life-saving procedure, in areas with poor access to surgical facilities; moms and babies remain at risk.
Owing it to the fact that Liberia has one of the highest maternal and infant mortality rates in the world, COVID has made access to maternity wards even more difficult due to strict transportation bans, closed health facilities and reassigned staff.
