SHI Maternal Health Summit: Improving Maternal Health and Rights towards Sustainable Development.

Globally, April 11 is a day set aside by international bodies actively involved in the maternal health space to celebrate the International Day of Maternal Health and Rights (IDMH).

In Nigeria, this day is usually marked with a Maternal health Summit organised by a non-governmental organisation in Lagos.

In preparation of the 2023 IDMH summit, the convening organisation shares the outcome of the previously hosted Maternal Health Summit in 2019 and 2022.

Maternal health is not the absence of diseases, but it is a state of wellbeing both in the physical, mental, emotional, social health during pregnancy, childbirth and postnatal period.

Some of the recognised causes of maternal mortality globally within the healthcare system include Hypertensive disorders (Pre-eclampsia / Eclampsia), Obstetric haemorrhage, Sepsis, Unsafe abortion and others.

Between 2019 and 2022, the summit was able to engage about 120 participants and 40 key organisations from different states of the nation for propelling discussions and commitments towards providing quality maternal health solutions that would be applicable, attainable and sustainable by all.
