Data has proven over the years that Nigeria is one of the countries that has the highest maternal mortality rates in the world. Therefore, it has been proven that people need contraceptives to put a stop to women who die from pregnancy-related deaths.
According to recent statistics, Nigeria’s Maternal Mortality Rate is 814 per 100,000 live births. Some of the causes of these issues are related to unsafe abortions which is as a result of unwanted pregnancies.
Results show that more young people are at more risk of problems emerging from pregnancy, most especially young girls. Most girls suffer Vesicovaginal Fistula (VVF) due to early/teenage childbirth, and some have met their early grave due to unsafe abortions. This painful experience and departure could have been avoided if contraceptive pills condoms or any other contraceptive method was used before or during intercourse with the opposite sex.
Causal factors contributing to the increase in maternal mortality rate in Nigeria can be controlled by using any method of contraception today, which lets you have babies only when your body is developed enough for it.
