As a consequence to the prolonged cycles of civil war, South Sudan has also been faced with a myriad of challenges in the health sector. One of this has been the increased rates of HIV infections, AIDs related deaths, and having to deal with the consequences of the pandemic.
Maternal, Child Health and Nutrition (MCHN) services have received substantial international attention and are high on global health and development agendas. Investing in MCHN is thus recognized as contributing to poverty reduction, economic growth and productivity, and more stable societies.
With approximately 50% of the population living below the national poverty line, a weak economy, and ongoing internal conflicts, South Sudan also ranks among the most fragile states in the world, with some of the lowest Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) access rates.
