Nigerian Doctor Leads Campaign to Ban Church Births
尼日利亞醫(yī)生呼吁禁止“教堂嬰”
Dr. Linda Ayade, the wife of Nigeria’s Cross River state governor, is leading a campaign to put an end to church births in Nigeria. According to a recent BBC news report, the practice of choosing a church instead of a health facility for giving birth is still very common in many Nigerian states. Many women who choose this option are deeply religious. They choose to put their faith in God and a traditional birth attendant instead of a hospital. Dr. Ayade wants to see this practice banned and hopes that a new law will reduce the rate of maternal mortality in her country. Nigeria currently has one of the highest rates of maternal mortality in the world.
克羅斯河州州長妻子琳達·阿依達發(fā)起呼吁，尼日利亞禁止“教堂嬰”。據(jù)BBC新聞報道，較醫(yī)院出生嬰兒，“教堂嬰”在許多大州仍非常普遍。其原因與宗教密不可分。婦女們相信上帝，并為嬰兒選擇“接生婆”，而不是前往醫(yī)院接生。阿依達醫(yī)生希望做到令行禁止，希望新法能減少產(chǎn)婦死亡率。目前，尼日利亞的產(chǎn)婦死亡率排世界前列。
