According to The Daily Mail, research shows that ¼ of the baby deaths can be prevented if women sleep by the left side of their bodies since it’s when blood circulates to the lower part of the body and to the heart.

In Ghana, between 20 and 50 babies are born dead while only 3.5 percent are born dead in USA.

Researchers say the best way to prevent this problem is to advice pregnant women on the better positions to sleep in.

Louise O’Brien, a researcher from the University of Michigan says: “the way an expectant mother sleeps has an effect on the unborn baby. Sleeping on the back facing upward poses the baby to the danger of dying.”

Medical experts reveal that the best position is to sleep on the left side because blood travels easily to the uterus while lying on the back blocks blood vessels putting the growing baby to danger.

Researchers in Ghana assert that women who give birth to dead babies in this country is 5percent while its 6percent in Australia.

Umubyeyi utwite agomba kwitongera indwara ya malariya

Abaganga bavuga ko hari impamvu nyinshi zituma abagore batwite bibasirwa n’indwara ya malariya muri ibyo bavuga ko ubusanzwe uturemangingo tw’umubiri dusanzwe dukora abasirikare barinda umubiri  ntituba tugifite ingufu mu kurinda umugore utwite.

Iri gabanuka ry’abasirikare bakomoka ku turemangingo rituma ibyago by’umugore utwite byo kwibasirwa na malariya byiyongera kuko  abasirikare bakagombye gufasha umubiri we kurwanya iyinjira ry’udukoko twa malariya baba bagiye no kurinda  umwana  aba atwite nk’uko Dr Gedeon André Mulumba Mukendi, ushinzwe serivisi zifasha abagore batwite mu bitaro bya ADEPR Nyamata abitangaza.

Ati “ Si ibyo gusa bituma indwara ya malaliya yibasira abagore batwite ku buryo buyoroheye, kuko iyo umugore atwite ya ngobyi y’umwana (placenta) ikozwe mu buryo ibasha kwakira udukoko dutera malariya mu buryo bworoshye kuko ibice biyigize bigenda biha urwaho udukoko twa malariya kwinjira mu buryo bworoshye”.

Dr. Gedeon avuga ko iyo umugore agize ibyago byo kurumwa n’umubu w’ingore ukwirakwiza malaliya ukamushyiramo udukoko  tuyitera  mu maraso, utwo dukoko  duhita twirukira mu ngobyi  (placenta) aho dusanga twatundi twari tuhasanzwe maze tukororoka vuba kandi ku buryo bwihuse akaba ari nabwo  utwo dukoko dutangira kwibasira umugore utwite n’uwo atwite.

“Udukoko twa malariya duhita dusiba imiyoboro ivana umwuka mwiza duhumeka (oxygene) mu mubiri w’umubyeyi uyigeza ku mwana, Ku mubyeyi nawe ni ho atangira kugira ikibazo cyo kubura amaraso ndetse  n’umwuka mwiza duhumeka (oxygene) mu maraso ye ikagabanuka ari nayo mpamvu ituma umubyeyi utwite iyo afashwe na malariya ihita imumerera nabi ndetse we n’uwo atwite bakaba bahasiga ubuzima iyo ativuje hakiri kare kandi neza”.

Umugore utwite iyo arwaye malariya agerwaho n’ingaruka nyinshi zirimo kugira amaraso makeya (anemie), kugira umuriro mwinshi, kugabanuka kw’isukari mu mubiri, kugira amazi mu bihaha, kuzahara mu gihe cyo kubyara, bikaba byanamuviramo kuva cyane ndetse no gupfa rugeretse iyo adakurikiraniwe hafi kandi neza.

Udukoko dutera malariya ( plasmodium  Falciparum), dutuma  umugore utwite ajya ku bise igihe cyo kubyara kitaragera maze bigatuma abyara umwana utagejeje igihe cyangwa se akabyara umwana wamaze gupfira mu nda. Uku kwiyongera kw’ibise kukaba guturuka ahanini ku kwiyongera gukabije k’umuriro mu mubiri.  Na none bikunze kugaragara ko umubyeyi wahuye na malariya atwite abyara umwana unaniwe ndetse udafite umwuka uhagije ku buryo mu gihe atitaweho n’abaganga ashobora no gupfa mu gihe hatabaye imbaraga z’abaganga mu kumuha umwuka.

Zonta International team in Rwanda

A team of officials from Zonta International have commended Rwanda’s various initiatives aimed at advancing the status of women in the country. The group was visiting the Kacyiru Police Hospital this week.

Zonta is an international service organization founded in Buffalo, New York in 1919 with the mission of advancing the status of women through service delivery and advocacy.

It is the major funder of the Programme for the Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission of HIV (PMTCT), Family Package project and Isange One Stop Centre which operates under Kacyiru Police Hospital, through United Nations and Imbuto Foundation.

“Today, I found a very good system, and I like the Family Package concept. The government is doing great work. It makes me happy seeing what this project has done for Rwandans,” said Pauliina Auckee, head o delegation.

She added: “You can see the beneficiaries are very happy and you can see it in what they are doing and the way they respond. I really hope that the government will continue this kind of work.”

The Family Package includes prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV and provision of health care, prenatal and obstetrical services, linkage to reproductive health programs, nutritional support, psychosocial services and income-generating activities to HIV-positive mothers.

The project currently operates in 27 health centres in six districts in the country, where women get antenatal care and those found to be HIV positive are organized in associations and cooperatives and supported to start small income generating activities.

Radegonde Ndejuru, the Director General of Imbuto Foundation commended the two international organizations – Zonta International and UN – for their commitment to contribute towards improvement of the health of mothers and children in Rwanda.

According to poice sources, at Kacyiru Police Hospital, alone, a total of 124 who are HIV positive are organized in a handcraft cooperative society called Impore. The women earn approximately Rwf50, 000 through selling their goods.

Dr. Uziel Ndagijimana on pregnant women health

“A pregnant woman is expected to go for antenatal care at least 4 times during the whole pregnancy but the research done in 2010 showed of all pregnant women in the country, only 45% attend the expected times.” Dr. Ndagijimana explained.

The Rwanda government intends for all pregnant women to attend all desired services and even deliver with medical stuff in presence for the sake of both child and mother health. This goal has not been achieved as only 69% of pregnant women give birth in hospitals or health centers.

Health workers who have a responsibility to the Child and Mother health are supposed to attend to pregnant women to make them realize the importance of attending full antenatal care services.

The number of people participating in Mutuelle de santé medical insurance is still low compared to the last year which was 90% of the population of Huye district and now it is 72%.

Ngo aba ni bakeya ugereranyije n’uko ikigamijwe ari uko ababyeyi bose bazajya bajya kwa muganga igihe batwite kugira ngo ubuzima bw’abana batwite n’ubwabo bukurikiranwe neza.

Uyu muyobozi kandi yagaragaje ko n’ubwo icyifuzwa ari uko ababyeyi bose, nta n’umwe usigaye, bitabira kubyarira kwa muganga, ngo iyi ntego itaragerwaho. Yagize ati “ubu bushakashatsi bwo mu w’2010 bwagaragaje ko ababyarira kwa muganga bakiri 69% gusa. Kuki tutagera ku 100%.”

Abajyanama b’ubuzima rero, nk’abafite inshingano zo gukurikirana ubuzima bw’ababyeyi n’ubw’abana, barasabwa kurushaho kwegera ababyeyi batwite, kugira ngo babafashe kumva akamaro ko kwipimisha izi nshuro zose.

Ku bijyanye n’ubwishingizi mu kwivuza, ngo imibare iracyari hasi ugereranyije n’iyo mu mwaka ushize. Dr Ndagijimana ati “umwaka ushize warangiye abitabiriye ubwishingizi mu kwivuza barenga 90%. Kuri ubungubu biracyari hasi. Urugero, mu Karere ka Huye baracyari ku rugero rwa 72%. Muzakore uko mushoboye ukwezi kwa kabiri kuzarangire iyi mibare yariyongereye ku buryo bugaragara.”

Nyuma yo kwerekwa icyegeranyo, abashinzwe ibikorwa by’ubuzima biyemeje kongera ubukangurambaga.

Umudogiteri (Doctor) ukorera kubitaro bya Kabaya akaba agaragaza ko ubundi imfu z’ababyeyi zitari zikwiye kubaho kubera ko basigaye bakurikiranwa neza, ariko ngo hari n’abigumira mungo zabo ntibipimishe ahubwo bakaza kwa muganga ari uko bafashwe n’inda maze akenshi akaba aribo biviramo urupfu.

Uko kutisuzumisha kugihe kandi ni nabyo bituma 22% bose babyarira mungo no mubavuzi gakondo. Umuyobozi w’ubuzima mu karere ka Ngororero JMV Muganza akaba asaba abajyanama b’ubuzima kongera ubukangurambaga bakora, dore ko ngo hari n’aho batahura abagore batwite ariko bagahisha inda ntibanipimishe, maze bakabakangurira kwipimisha hakiri kare.
