Summary
South Sudan has some of the worst health outcome indicators globally, in spite of modest
improvements over the last five years. Maternal mortality ratio has stagnated at 2054 per
100 000. Mortality rate for infants and children under five years declined from 102 and 135
in 2006 to 75 and 104 in 2012 per 1000 live births respectively. The significant disparity in
health status across socio-demographic factors and geographical location is well
documented.
