Our antenatal care, under-five and family planning services are integrated and provided through a static clinic at the hospital, supported by fourteen outreach clinics in the community. Good community relations and a network of Safe Motherhood Committees have led to almost universal hospital delivery for women in from the surrounding villages.

The maternal mortality ratio (MMR) is very low at just 43/100,000 women in our area, more than eight times lower than the national figure of 381/100,000.The neonatal mortality rate of 14/1000 live births is low too, just over half of the national figure of 27/1000 births.  We strive to further reduce the number of children born asphyxiated, which is currently 5.5%
