Director General of Cross River State Primary Health Care Development Agency (CRSPHCDA), Dr. Betta Edu, had paid a surprise visit, Monday, to Osakan village, Ofumbongha-Yala ward in Obubra Local Government Area of CRS for community outreach service, were triplets were delivered.
Dr. Edu said she was over excited with their birth especially owing to the fact that they were given birth to in one of the primary health care facility rather than resorting to traditional birth attendant home. It is even more interesting that a Traditional Birth attendant referred this woman to the health center and supported the staff there during the delivery.
While congratulating the parents, the DG used the opportunity to advise the parents to start family planning immediately, since that was their fifth child, where they reported the second was a set of twins.
She further made a financial donation of more than hundred thousand naira ( 100,000), including other financial appreciations to those around aiding the mother to take care of the triplets. She said more support like clothing, provisions, toiletries and more funds will be made available immediately, to enable the parents take good care of the children. She ordered for the immediate transfer of the triplets boys and their mother to a comprehensive health care center for more enhanced care.
In reaction, Mr. & Mrs. Enyam Joshua, parents to the triplets thanked the Director General for her unscheduled visit, adding that apart from the surprise and blessing the visit has brought, the gesture was unprecedented.
They thanked Governor Ayade for appointing someone who has the passion and compassion for the poor and needy, and prayed God to bless the Digital Governor for them.
