The President of the Club, Ms Theresa Eyetan, said the club is a humanitarian organisation committed to reducing the hardships being faced by pregnant women during child-birth.

She advised the beneficiaries to always attend their ante- natal care clinics for routine checks.

She said that the child-and-maternal mortality could only be prevented through proper care, medical check and good hygiene for pregnant women.

“Today, we are donating three bags of detergents to the health centre to help them keep the environment clean, a criterion required for good health.

Each of the birth-kits we are donating today contains 10 pieces of mucus extractors, maternity pad, bed mat, bathing soaps and antiseptic among others. 

“The target is to help women who cannot afford these items because of the economic hardship in the country” Eyetan said.
