Who we are
The South Sudan Nurses and Midwives Association (SSNAMA) was launched on May 4, 2011 at a workshop hosted by the Ministry of Health with technical and financial support from the United Nations Population Fund.
The association was formed as a result of the need to raise the profile of nursing and midwifery in South Sudan and strengthen the provision of nursing and midwifery services in the new Republic.
The association comprises of an Executive Board including representatives from all states of South Sudan and a representative of the midwifery society.
Midwives in South Sudan and Canada were matched by complimenary interests, goals and peronalities. This mentorship model was based on concepts of equity, sharing and respect.
