Nigerian Doctor Leads Campaign to Ban Church Births
尼日利亚医生呼吁禁止“教堂婴”
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.
克罗斯河州州长妻子琳达·阿依达发起呼吁，尼日利亚禁止“教堂婴”。据BBC新闻报道，较医院出生婴儿，“教堂婴”在许多大州仍非常普遍。其原因与宗教密不可分。妇女们相信上帝，并为婴儿选择“接生婆”，而不是前往医院接生。阿依达医生希望做到令行禁止，希望新法能减少产妇死亡率。目前，尼日利亚的产妇死亡率排世界前列。
