There is little that can be done when such has already happened. The truth is that prevention is better than cure. It is better to avoid such in the first place. It is when women delay in going to hospital that such happen. They should learn to present themselves early once they feel any sign of labour. They should also go for ante natals so that they can advise them to turn up early at the hospital.

YES, ‘integrity’ is critical to the fight against corruption. But concerning political leadership ‘integrity’ is merely a ‘moral necessity’. It is not a requirement of the law. It may be useful in winning election; but it is the prerogative of the electorate to notice or to ignore. Which is not to suggest that a ‘political leader’ fighting corruption should have only the ‘legal authority’ to do so. To be more effective it is desirable that he should also have some ‘moral authority’ to boot. Which again is not to suggest that he must be an ‘angel’ with an unblemished escutcheon. It suffices that his ‘blemish’ is unknown to law –even if it stinks in the nose of ‘public perception’.
