If you are going to need an ICU to improve maternal care then shame on you bwana minister. You indeed are clueless
The whole idea of enhanced maternal child health is problem ANTICIPATION and timely institution of measures to prevent mothers from ending up in the ICU

Dr Chilufya seems to be very popular among bloggers on LT. Is he funding them for publicity. Even when he does nothing, he gets a praise. The minister is not responsible for this. If it was rats you would blame management.
