The queen of Buganda lady Sylvia Nagginda has launched the global fight action on Maternal and child health campaign with an aim of achieving the Millennium Development Goals.

The MDGs that are set to be achieved through the campaign include strengthening of gender equitable national health sector action plans, ensuring health plans, reducing maternal deaths in women and children among others.

Nabagereka says the increase in maternal deaths in Uganda is due to the high corruption, the weakness in implementing decisions made, the absence of health facilities and poverty as well as unemployment which facilitates men to think in terms of producing.

The Nabagereka has urged the speaker of Parliament Rt.Hon. Rebecca Kadaga to continue advocating the girl child education, fight corruption as some of the ways in which the high levels of maternal and child mortality will be arrested.
