Almost 18,000 of the 40,000 Nigerian women who die of pregnancy-related causes yearly could be saved if women who need family planning had access.
 
Many of the 241,000 newborn deaths would also be averted, said renowned Nigerian obstetrician and gynaecologist, Prof. Emmanuel Otolorin during the MamaYe Media Roundtable on Family Planning and Maternal Health in Abuja on 20 October 2016.
