One woman dies every 10mins at childbirth-Survey
At a one-day legislative and executive dialogue on action for effective implementation of policies on maternal health held in Kano,

the Executive Director of the Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC), Mr. Auwal Ibrahim Musa (Rafsanjani) has revealed in his opening address that in Nigeria 1 in 13 women dies during pregnancy or child birth and that in every 10 minutes one woman dies from conditions associated with childbirth, saying that the survey also revealed that only 39% of births take place with assistance of medically trained personnel, and that these factors among others were largely attributed to poor budgetary allocation to the health sector. Rafsanjani advised that to resolve the challenges, the federal executive council must ensure that the 2014 Health Act which government should have started implementing in 2015, sees the light of day. He said if implemented, the Act would resuscitate health care delivery, given the 1% consolidated revenue fund (CRF) it recommends from the national budget.

    Mi chiedo se non sarebbe il caso di mostrare nel grafico anche la media degli anni 1980-2010.Fanno giusto i 30 anni necessari perché un intervallo di tempo sia climaticamente significativo, e permetterebbe di capire come si piazza qun8&t#s217;aeno nella media degli ultimi 30 anni, e non rispetto ad una media di 20 anni, scelti chissà come chissà perché.Parlo, ovviamente da ignorante, appunto perché ignoro perché ci si riferisca a un intervallo di 20 anni che parte da 30 anni fa, e non agli ultimi 30 anni.Da buon elettronico, profano di climatologia, lo faccio in umiltà e a voce bassa.
