South Sudan’s maternal mortality remains the fifth highest in the world, at 2,500 deaths per 100,000 (WHO 2010 Country Report). High levels of maternal mortality are linked to poor access to quality reproductive health services, including family planning. Fewer than 20 certified midwives and even fewer registered nurses exist in all of South Sudan.
