Expectant mothers in Amudat travel 40 kilometres to deliver in Kenya
Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Expectant mothers in Amudat district trek a distance of more than 40 kilometres to access maternal services in neighboring Kenya. This is a result of lack of adequate facilities and midwives in the district.
According to records at the district health department, there are only eight health centres. They include five health centre IIs, two health center IIIs and one health center IV.
Barbra Chelain, a mother and a resident of Akorikeya village says that most mothers wait for more than five hours to be attended to by one staff in the health facility.
