“…A study by the United States' Centers for Disease Prevention, and Control (CDC) reveals that average lifetime costs per person were estimated at $1,014,000 for persons with mental retardation, $921,000 for persons with cerebral palsy, $383,000 for persons with hearing loss, and $601,000 for persons in vision impairment," [26] an amount in which does not include out-of-pocket expenditures, emergency room visits, lost wages of family members caring for those with the disability, and psychosocial effects. Caring for a child with disability as a result of obstetric injuries had also taken an emotional, physical and psychological toll on the family, [27], [28] especially the mother of the inflicted child [29], [30]. The frequency of obstetric malpractice and injuries had also affected the community at large whereby part of the cost of caring for a child inflicted with obstetric injury is assumed by the community through institutions, government bodies, community-based and charity organizations dedicated to provide support for the welfare of children with disabilities.…”
