How many mothers give birth at Port Moresby General Hospital every year?

Port Moresby General Hospital (PMGH) sees more than 10,000 pregnancies a year or 30 births a day.  The hospital has only 22 delivery beds and during peak times some mothers have their babies on the floor.  There are only three to four midwives a shift to supervise them so unfortunately this means that some ladies have to deliver on the floor and many do not get to see a midwife for their necessary hourly observations.
