Dr. Betta Edu : Blurring the Divide by Changing the Narrative

Despite all these medical degrees , Dr. Edu is currently the National Women Leader of APC.   Her energetic and quintessential leadership resulted in significant improvements in key health indices in Cross River state. Some of these include best child survival rate in Nigeria; 63% reduction in maternal mortality rate (MMR) in public health facilities in the last 5 years; 44% reduction in new-born death at health facilities in the last 5 years; decline in HIV prevalence from 6.6% (2015) to 1.8% (2020). The National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Control Programme (NTBLCP) of the Federal Ministry of Health ranked Cross River State and the 2nd best performing state in 2020. These remarkable achievements were made possible by her strategic investment and re-organisation of the Cross River state health system founded on a robust primary health care system as the fulcrum of its universal health coverage (UHC) agenda.
