“As a young girl, I told my grandfather that I would be a nurse,” says Hellen Hadia, a 25 year old midwife-in-training at the Maridi Institute of Health Sciences, Western Equatoria State, South Sudan. And now she is a midwife, seeing mothers and children doing well after birth gives her satisfaction in her important role. She believes that women deserve to make decisions on issues that affect their lives.
Yet too often in South Sudan, this is not the case. Pregnancies and births are risky because the health system is under-funded and under-staffed. In rural areas it is common for a health facility to be so far from the communities it serves that people simply cannot seek care. South Sudan’s maternal mortality rate is among the highest in the world, at 789 deaths per 100,000 live births (World Bank, 2015). Only 1 in 5 births takes place in the presence of a skilled health worker (Unicef). In 2022, the country’s infant mortality rate was 98 per 1,000 live births (World Bank and Unicef).
Hear Hellen's story of her motivation to become a midwife and her hope for mothers in her community.
