The Child Birth Spacing which was hitherto been running away from by married men and women, could be said to have seen the light of the day now, due to the number of women of child bearing age accessing the services.
The Officer in charge of Family Planning Unit, Primary Health Care Yelwa, Domiciliary and the in charge of Primary Health Care Centre, Bayan Fada, Hajiya Zulaihatu Sa'id Sambo and Hadiza Ahmed Maikudi, said the number of women accessing the services is quite encouraging.
