The UN midwives facilitate about 150,000 safe deliveries, provide at least 300,000 women with prenatal care, and mentor more than 1,000 midwifery and nursing students studying at Canada-supported and other health sciences training institutes in South Sudan. This project is part of Canada’s maternal newborn and child health commitment.
