Article Synopsis
- Maternal Mortality (MM) in rural Nigeria is critically impacted by delays in accessing emergency obstetric care (EmOC), prompting researchers to study midwives’ knowledge and involvement in providing such care in Cross River State.
- A survey of all ninety-four midwives in rural maternal health facilities revealed that their knowledge of EmOC was notably high, with many actively providing essential care services.
- The study concluded that enhancing midwives' training through job support, refresher courses, and community involvement could strengthen their ability to deliver effective emergency obstetric care and reduce maternal mortality rates.
