Session presented on Thursday, September 25, 2014:
According to the World Health Organization, maternal death is defined "death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy, irrespective of the duration and site of the pregnancy, from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management, but not from accidental or incidental causes." In an attempt to help reduce maternal death rates in Nigeria, woman are encouraged to seek proper treatment and give birth in healthcare facilities. However, due to the lack of constant electricity, there is little confidence about whether or not healthcare facilities can cope with the increasing demands of electrical energy in labor and delivery wards and operating rooms. I used my personal experience to gather information about the postpartum effects that the lack of electricity has in Nigeria. I traveled to Nigeria and used the opportunity to visit a clinic and see firsthand how the lack of electricity affected all aspects of care.
