Nigeria is a country of the young with almost half of the 180 million people under the age of 15. Currently Nigeria has nearly 31 million children below the age of 5 and about 7 million babies are born yearly.

Most areas have only a 62% birth registration making it hard to get a clear understanding of child health issues.

There is a lot of health issues surrounding birth. Nearly 40 million women in Nigeria are between the ages of 15-49 and of childbearing age.
