Aim: The study was conducted to examine the prevalence of obstetric emergencies as seen at Hajiya Gambo Sawaba General Hospital Kofar Gayan Zaria between January 2018 and June 2019. Methods: A retrospective research design was adopted for the study, data were collected from case records of 573 clients seen in the facility over the study period using a structured checklist, and the data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods.
Results: The finding revealed that postpartum haemorrhage was the most leading obstetric emergency complication (24.7%) followed closely by eclampsia and ante-partum haemorrhage with 23.7% and 20%, respectively; age, parity were found to have significant association with obstetric emergencies (p<0.05).
Discussion: Postpartum, haemorrhage was the major obstetric complication. The public and private actors should roll out of new family welfare programmes and fund them adequately to increase the women’s uptake of maternal and child health services across various economic strata of the society.
