Classes for expectant mothers, partners begin

Briefing the media last week, a midwife from Gaborone West Phase 1 clinic, Lame Sedimo, said the idea was mooted after realising that while government is providing antenatal care to all pregnant women, maternal and infant morbidity and mortality remain high. 

Sedimo said the classes would target all pregnant women and partners, who can be a parent, friend, sibling or father of the child. The classes will be offered in groups of 10 to 15 at Old Naledi, Gaborone West, Mafitlhakgosi, Broadhurst 3 and Lesirane maternal clinics in Gaborone.
