Anambra Trains Public, Private Health Workers On Use Of Anti-Shock Garments 

By Chukwudi Nwauba

The Anambra State Government has trained public and private health workers on the use of anti-shock garments in cases of postpartum haemorrhage in women.

Postpartum Haemorrhage otherwise known as "bleeding after delivery" was detected as the major cause of maternal mortality in women across the state.

The training, which was organized by the Anambra State Ministry of Health in Awka was attended by doctors and nurses from mission and government owned hospitals in the state.

The State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Afam Obidike said that in order to put an end to cases of death during delivery which he said was noticed to be on the high side, especially in hard-to-reach areas, Gov. Chukwuma Soludo approved the first procurement of 120 anti-shock garments for mission and government hospitals across the state in addition to free ante-natal and delivery services in public hospitals in the state.

According to him, Anambra is determined to achieve zero maternal mortality across the state.

The Commissioner noted that more of the kits are being procured presently for Primary HealthCare Centres in all the 326 wards in the state to ensure that no woman dies during delivery.

He expressed his joy that the trainees were able to garner knowledge on the administration of the garment to save life.

Dr. Obidike urged the participants to ensure that they stepped down the training to other members of their facilities.

 "This training will be continuous and we want to commend our governor for leaving no stone unturned in ensuring quality healthcare services for Ndi Anambra.''

Earlier, while training the participants on the causes, how to control Postpartum Haemorrhage and use of anti-shock garments in saving the life of women during child birth especially during emergency where loss of blood is involved, the State Coordinator, Reproductive Health, Dr. Uju Okoye demonstrated how to put on the anti-shock garment on patients.

Dr. Okoye emphasised that the anti- shock garments are not for pregnant women and shocks without loss of blood.

"The anti-shock garment must not be removed until the patient is taken to a bigger hospital and stabilized.'' 

In their separate reactions, some of the participants, Doctors Ifeanyi Adihuba from General hospital, Okija, Gabriel Odoeze, from Aguata Diocesan Hospital, Igboukwu and a nurse, Miss Favour Udeaja said though they were aware of anti-shock garment, they were now able to know how to wear a patient the garment and other aspects of child delivery as well as how to save life during emergencies.

 The trio promised to step down all they learnt during the training.
