Nigeria: Confronting the Maternal and Newborn Crisis

Nigeria accounts for over 20% of all pregnancy related deaths worldwide. Behind these numbers are communities working tirelessly to change the trajectory. Across rural, underserved, and high-risk areas, Nigerian health workers and communities are driving practical solutions, promoting antenatal visits, supporting safe deliveries, and improving newborn care and nutrition

Every Pregnancy’s partners strengthen these local and community-led efforts by supporting an integrated package of safe pregnancy and delivery services, including training health workers on the latest medical interventions and expanding access to antenatal, postnatal, and nutrition services. Together, they are helping women and families overcome barriers to care and ensuring that more mothers and babies survive and thrive.

Your support can expand these proven interventions so that Nigerian communities can build a safer, healthier future for mothers and babies.
