As you are reading this, Amina is in a remote village in Borno State, giving birth to her second child on a bare mat in a makeshift shelter. There is no nurse or access to clean water, no sterile equipment or electricity. Her baby might survive, but her chances are slim. Unfortunately, Amina's situation reflects a broader issue affecting many Nigerian women, who face significant challenges in accessing quality healthcare during pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond.
