Arua Regional Referral Hospital reports drop in maternal mortality rate
Arua Regional Referral Hospital has reported a reduction in the maternal mortality rate to 279 per 100,000 deliveries during the 2023/2024 financial year. This reflects a decrease from the previous year’s rate of 356 per 100,000 deliveries.
