Being a mother, a doctor and the Migori county Health executive, I am deeply grateful for the people who make safe motherhood a reality. There are several programmes aimed at ensuring women in labour arrive in health facilities. In Nyangoge, Kuria West subcounty, a community-based referral system ensures that mothers in labour are transported to health facilities via motorcycles or cars. We have incentivised giving birth in health facilities by offering mama packs to mothers. Our goal is to reach 90 per cent so that every mother has a shot at a healthy delivery.
