3 in every 1000 birth result in Brachial Injury, which is the most common injury but least talked about. The “Brachial Plexus Injury Awareness Campaign” is aimed at sensitizing the public of this injury and what they can do to assist the injured (from help groups to simple exercises and access to therapy). Also educating the Local Traditional Birth Attendants and Traditional Bone Setter on how to manage difficult birth processes (Shoulder Dystocia) and Babies with BPI.
