The Nairobi Hospital recently hosted a free "Daddy, Mommy and Baby Fair" training event, benefiting over 300 individuals including mothers, expectant mothers, fathers, and nannies. The initiative aimed to equip participants with crucial knowledge on safe maternal and child care, addressing topics from pregnancy to immunization.

• The training directly addresses Kenya’s high maternal mortality rate, which was 530 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2023 according to UNICEF.
• Mr. Nicodemus Odongo, Director Strategy and Innovation at The Nairobi Hospital, emphasized that maternal health is a societal imperative, crucial for reducing mortality.
• The event highlighted the importance of coordinated action across public, private, and community sectors to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target of fewer than 70 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births by 2030.
