Thank you Dr Okoi-obuli for that succinct response and for the timely support of the Baby Friendly Initiative!.
When I was working with Professor Olikoye Ransome -Kuti during and after the Civil War, we trained teams of nurse midwives to provide primary MCH Care and sent them out to Katsina, Sokoto, Kano and Calabar. I hope that Calabar is still getting integrated Maternal & Child Primary Care at low cost the way Koye hoped!
Best wishes from Nick Cunningham
