SIKU YA WAKUNGA DUNIANI 'MIKONO YA KWANZA KUPOKELEWA ULIPOINGIA DUNIANI'

Dear colleague and Fellow Citizen,

Everyday 23 pregnant women and 137 newborns die in Tanzania, many from preventable causes. One of the causes is lack of skilled birth attendant in our health facilities.

 Tomorrow is the International Day of the Midwife. Please use the attached press releases to spread the word to politicians, the government, private sector and all stakeholders including the community so that together we work to increase the number of midwives and in turn reduce the unnecessary deaths.

Wewe ni mdau muhimu wa kusambaza ujumbe huu utakao okoa maisha. Ifuatayo ni dondoo muhimu:

"Takwimu zilizochapishwa na ripoti ya Hali ya Wakunga Ulimwenguni (State of the World’s Midwives) zinaonyesha kuwa Tanzania inahitaji wakunga 9,941 zaidi ili kufikia lengo ifikapo mwaka 2015 la kuwa na asilimia 95% ya wajawazito wanaozalishwa na wahudumu wenye taaluma."

Akinamama 5,000 na watoto wachanga 32,000

 wangeweza kuokolewa ifikapo 2015

Natanguliza shukrani za dhati kwa ushirikiano wako.

Zingatia: Zinaambatanishwa taarifa mbili kwa vyombo vya habari. Moja ni ya Kiswahili na nyingine ni ya Kiingereza.

Usisite kuwasiliana nami kama una swali lolote la nyongeza,

Wako,

Chiku Lweno-Aboud
