    Health

    The maternal mortality rate was 2.52 per 1000 in 2005 while the HIV prevalence rate stood at 6.9 percent in 2009. Delivery of service, however, is hampered by the shortage of trained personnel, long distances and bad roads to health facilities. In some cases, traditional and cultural beliefs, myths and misconceptions on family planning also contribute not to achieving the expected outcomes in health related programmes.
