Shortage of midwives (2.3 midwives per 10,000 people) due to lack of finances to employ the 3,000 comprehensive midwives who graduate annually from tertiary institutions leading to limited access to skilled birth attendants resulting in maternal mortality ratio of 362/100,000 live births and neonatal mortality ratio of 26/1,000 live births.
These deaths can be partly attributable to a shortage of professional midwives, denying women access to high-quality delivery care and emergency services. Over 85% of the deaths can be prevented if we have well-trained, skilled, and motivated midwives.
