No fewer than 1,500 women gave birth in 28 Internally Displaced Persons’ camps in Borno State in 2015, the state Primary Health Care Management Board said on Sunday in Maiduguri.

The Executive Secretary of the board, Dr. Sule Mene, told the News Agency of Nigeria that the deliveries were recorded between January 2015 and January 2016.

Mene said about 14,600 pregnant women received anti-natal care, psycho-social services and child nutrition support.

He added that the agency had also received about 1,200 severe medical cases, which were referred to the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital for proper care.

The official explained that the agency had established 20 Integrated Primary Health Care Centres for IDPs in all the camps to provide integrated primary health care and referral services.

“The Borno State Government has procured health kits for each of the IDPs to help cater for their immediate needs.
