Yemisi Izuora. The Coca-Cola Company is set to launch a new program – The Safe BirthInitiative – to support the Ministries of Health in Nigeria and Ivory Coast to assist the countries to tackle the high incidence of maternal and newborn mortalities. This was disclosed by theCoca-Cola Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) Group President, Brian Smith, during acourtesy visit to His Excellency Alassane Ouattara, President of the Republic of Ivory Coast. The program will focus on strengthening the capacity of maternity and neonatal units in selectedpublic hospitals in Ivory Coast and Nigeria.

In Nigeria on the other hand, about 40,000 women and 260,000 newborns (excluding 300,000stillborn) die during or shortly after childbirth annually. About 29% of the newborn deaths (90,000) occur in the first 24 hours of birth.
