a few have written to ask for more insight on my previous blog, as i would love to respond to it i find a recent case unbearably infuriating.....Just yesterday i approved an emergency response led by my Program Officer on Gender, to support a young lady who needs basic emergency obsteric care as a result of complications she is suffering from a 6 months gone pregnancy. We also intend to press charges on negiligence, un-attention resulting to murder of a child, of the aforemtnioned girl's first birth, by her mother who refused to help her access orthodox care for more than 12 hours in a critical case of capalhopelvic disproportion: which induced pronlonged and obstructed labor, in her preference for trado-medical help.
The two pregnancy are without attendance to ante-natal, HIV/AIDS testing and no father known.
We are consulting to introduce alongside the legal issues of access to care, that the consious refussal to use ante-natal thus, the infection of mother to child with HIV/AIDS should be a punishable offence in our law! what do you all think.....i am still thinking....
