Published purpose
This project aims to reduce maternal and newborn deaths by increasing women’s access to qualified midwives in South Sudan. It places 45 United Nations (UN) volunteer midwives in health facilities in all 10 states of South Sudan (30 international and 15 national midwives). 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.
