A policy-maker from Mindanao said that Nurses Assigned in Rural Service (NARS) Project toward organizing a larger number of jobless nurses must be built up by the congress. Emmylou Taliño-Mendoza, Cotabato Representative said that it would make a lot of sense to expand the NARS, and perhaps knock additional 10,000 nurses for employment as midwives in municipalities with the highest motherly and infant humanity rates. This means will save thousands of mothers and infants who are at risk each year because of pregnancy and birth-related complications. The lack of access to skilled delivery attendants affects the disappointingly soaring number of mothers and infants being gone during pregnancy and childbirth.

Three out of every four maternal deaths happen to very young women 15 to 19 years old, while the infant mortality is unusually high at 24 out of every 1,000 live births. Poor mothers still give birth at home in rural areas and even in metropolitan slums, frequently there were no trained attendants.
