Project Aisha recently convened a high-level stakeholder meeting, bringing together Permanent Secretaries from Lagos State Health Districts II, III, IV, and V; Directors from the Lagos State Ministry of Health (LSMOH), Lagos State Primary Health Care Board (LSPHCB), and Lagos State Health Districts, frontline healthcare workers, community members, and implementing partners.

The meeting provided an opportunity to reflect on the project’s achievements, celebrate its impact on maternal healthcare delivery, and identify pathways for sustaining and scaling successful interventions across the state’s health system.

Participants explored Project Aisha’s integrated approach, which combines community empowerment, frontline worker-led quality improvement, innovative digital solutions, and strengthened health system accountability. Powerful testimonies from community members, healthcare workers, and health leaders highlighted the transformative impact of these interventions on maternal health outcomes.

A standout moment was the “Show and Tell” session, where frontline healthcare workers showcased innovative solutions and results achieved through maternal health-focused initiatives in their facilities. Through a technical working session, stakeholders also developed strategic actions to support the scale-up, spread, and long-term sustainability of these interventions.

As Lagos State continues to strengthen maternal healthcare services, stakeholders reaffirmed their commitment to integrating the project’s proven approaches into ongoing efforts to improve maternal health outcomes and ensure safer pregnancy and childbirth experiences for women across the state.
