A non governmental organisation in Katsina says maternal mortality seems to be on the rise across the state.
The Katsina State Maternal Accountability Forum said shortage of manpower in primary and secondary health facilities is one of the root causes.
The forum says there is a gap between the state government and development partners working on the health sector in the state.
It also alleges that the State Governor is not receiving the required information or feedback relating to what health development partners are doing in the state.
