Zambia’s birthing is still December to end of April in last 30 years says Dr Mulindi Munahamuntu
The majority Zambians are born in here. Putting the graphs I posses to an arithmetical point estimate entail they are true to an odds factor of 2.5! I’m trying to understand why.
Maybe the why is not important today , but the fact that medical manpower in labour wards and financing should never be messed up in these first 4 months of Zambian peak birthing period is worthwhile to consider.
The correlation between this peak and the peak for adverse (poor) motherhood outcomes correlate smoothly like a cogwheel. Meaning that grants to hospitals, in these particular 4 months, must faithfully come…always.
The launch of the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) took place in Zambia’s Chongwe district and was attended by Minister of Community Development Mother and Child Health Dr Joseph Katema, Minister of Education Dr John Phiri, Chieftainess Nkomeshya Mukamambo, World Health Organisation (WHO) Dr Olusegun Babaniyi and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Lawrence H Marum. Below is a picture of Chieftainess Nkomeshya Mukamambo who brought her granddaughter, Elizabeth, to get vaccinated.
