Youths of District #2, Grand Bassa County, are calling on the Government of Liberia to construct a hospital or clinic in every major town across Liberia, as their mothers were losing their lives in child birth.
Speaking on Tuesday of this week during a district consultation on the future of Liberia, Mr. Bob C. Kai-u-way attributed maternal death to the lack of hospitals and or clinics in most of the areas.
Mr. Kai-u-way stated, "It has now become a tradition that we lost a mother in child birth every month. The cause of these deaths is usually as a result of the usage of unsafe methods of delivery."
He stated that Vision 2030 will not be actualized in the absence of adequate health care facilities for all Liberians.
Today Liberia finds itself at a crossroads: it can remain committed to its recovery and reconstruction efforts and transition to a more stable and economically vibrant country or it can stray from that course, risking a relapse into conflict.
With this in mind, it is critical for Liberia that long term goals are set for its societal, economic, and governance structures; paving the way towards lasting peace, reconstruction and development. In an effort to set these long term goals the Government of Liberia, through the Ministry of Planning and Economic Affairs, Governance Commission and the National Vision 2030 administrative structures.
National Vision 2030 is a process through which the people of Liberia will set the roadmap for addressing the social, political and economic challenges that confront and will confront Liberia over the next 18-years.
Through a series of studies which have already been undertaken, possible future scenarios were constructed. A broad idea of the visioning process was presented to the Liberian people by the President of Liberia through the Regional Consultations. And the future possible scenarios will be presented to the people of Liberia through the district consultations process, wherein the people of Liberia will have the opportunity to examine the scenarios and with their input and suggestions the best possible scenario with the combination of goals, objectives and methodologies decided upon by the Liberian people will be incorporated into a National Vision document.
The National Vision 2030 will be for the people, by the people and of the people; setting and defining the parameters of - political, economic and social development - for building a reconciled and unified nation. A nation envisioned where citizens share a strong sense of national identity and community, commitment to ethical governance, and government partnership in pursuit of national development goals. The visioning exercise belongs to the Liberian people and as such, the people of Liberia will set the agenda.
