3301: WHO: Closing the Gap in South Sudan's Maternal Healthcare
About this episode
The episode discusses efforts to improve maternal and newborn health in South Sudan, highlighting the role of community health workers and the importance of investing in women's health.
Access to healthcare remains a challenge for many women and newborns in South Sudan’s remote communities, where distance, shortages of health workers and limited services continue to put lives at risk. Yet health officials say progress is being made, with maternal deaths declining and new initiatives seeking to bring care closer to underserved populations. On this week's World Health Organization's information session, we discuss efforts to improve maternal and newborn health, the role of community health workers, and why investing in women’s health is critical for South Sudan’s future. Miraya is in conversation with Pontius Bayo, WHO South Sudan's Technical Officer in charge of Maternal and Newborn Health
