MMR Key Findings

The study reveals substantial heterogeneity in maternal outcomes across Kano's LGAs with several areas showing exceptionally high MMR values...

Notably, several LGAs exhibit exceptionally high weighted MMR values, which far exceed both the national average of approximately 1,047 per 100,000 and the global average of 211 per 100,000 live births. In particular, the LGA of Gaya reported a weighted MMR of 4,677 per 100,000 live births, followed by Garko at 3192, Wudil at 2317 and Bebeji at 2217 per 100,000.

These striking figures point to a severe burden of maternal mortality in these areas, likely reflecting both limited access to emergency obstetric care and broader systemic challenges in maternal health services.

SBR Key Findings

Stillbirth rates show significant variation across different regions and demographic groups, with notable disparities between urban and rural areas...

The data reveals that stillbirth rates are highest in the Southern senatorial zone (126.47 per 1,000 births) compared to the Central (113.75) and Northern (79.73) zones. This pattern mirrors the distribution of maternal mortality rates, suggesting common underlying factors contributing to adverse birth outcomes across the regions.

LGAs with the highest SBR include Gaya (292.82), Wudil (289.62), and Dawakin Kudu (236.99), which aligns with the areas experiencing the highest MMR, indicating systemic healthcare challenges in these regions.
