Extending Emergency Transport Services for Safe Motherhood in Jigawa State, Nigeria [2003- 2005]

Case Study: A safe motherhood scoping mission undertaken in Jigawa in June 2003 found that emergency obstetric care (EOC) services were inadequate in number and quality throughout the state and that barriers to utilisation of these services by the women who needed them were substantial. In response to these findings, the Jigawa Health Sector Reform Forum (HSRF) identified safe motherhood as a priority issue to address at state level.
