Papua New Guinea needs to train more midwives to help address the high infant mortality and maternal rate.
PNG Midwifery Society president Jennifer Pyakalyia has called for more training for midwives at the universities and colleges in the country.
Pyakalyia said at least 20 midwives should be trained at each of the five midwifery institutions in the country if PNG is serious about improving maternal and new born health.
