Continued delivering on floor at UTH worries CRHE

Centre for Reproductive Health and Education (CRHE) has expressed concern over the continued poor conditions were women are delivering on the floor at the university teaching hospital (UTH).

CRHE executive director Amos Mwale has told qfm news in an interview that there is urgent need for the ministry of health to find a solution.

Mr. Mwale notes that it is heartbreaking and unacceptable to have women giving birth on the floor due to shortage of beds at the maternity ward at UTH.

He explains that reproductive health care should be top priority if mothers and babies lives can be saved.

Mr. Mwale has since appealed to health minister dr. Joseph Kasonde to immediately address the issue of women delivering on the floor at UTH and health centers for the benefit   of the country.
