Making Cesarean Section Safe in Kano: ACEPHAP and Team meets for Introductory Session

The African Centre of Excellence for Population Health and Policy (ACEPHAP) has commenced activities for its project titled Making Cesarean Section Safe in Kano with a successful introductory meeting. The session brought together key stakeholders to familiarize them with the project objectives, which focus on improving the safety and quality of cesarean sections across health facilities in Kano State. The introductory meeting served as a platform to provide an overview of the project’s goals, strategies, and expected outcomes.

A critical part of the meeting involved training healthcare providers, including doctors, theatre nurses, and anesthesiologists, on proper data collection methods. The training focused on gathering baseline data around cesarean sections, childbirth complications, postpartum hemorrhage, and other maternal health concerns. This foundational data is essential for identifying gaps in service delivery and establishing interventions that will enhance maternal care outcomes in Kano.

The session facilitated by Dr. Maryam Lawal Wada and Dr. Sadiq Ma'aji, guided participants through the practical processes of data documentation and monitoring. 20 site coordinators were selected from 10 tertiary and secondary health facilities across Kano, with each facility represented by two health professionals. The coordinators will play a pivotal role in ensuring accurate data collection and reporting throughout the project’s duration, a project funded by Global Surgery Foundation.

In line with global best practices, the training also emphasized capacity building for frontline healthcare workers based on the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations. By equipping these professionals with the necessary skills and knowledge, the project aims to significantly reduce maternal mortality and improve overall childbirth experiences in Kano State.
