6,097 people had access to comprehensive preventive and curative health services including children, women and at-risk men, and key populations in five facilities in South Sudan.
Communicable diseases are the leading cause of death, with malaria, diarrheal diseases, and pneumonia being the biggest killers of children under 5 in South Sudan where 80% of maternal deaths are preventable. Conflicts, flooding, and poor health infrastructure pushed 5.5 million people to rely on NGO-provided healthcare in 2022.
We take health awareness to the doorsteps of 6,097 people through 53 community health workers and 24 volunteers in 9 Countries across five States in South Sudan in 2022. Our approach ensures a continuum of care through community, facility, referral, and tech-based services. Our integrated services ensure reproductive, maternal, and child well-being, primary healthcare, disability care, and treatment of communicable and non-communicable diseases for the most marginalized communities. We collaborate with the community, government, and private stakeholders to complement efforts to strengthen the overall health system. Improving access, lifestyle, and health-seeking behaviour is the core of our work.
