Increasing Access To Health Services
An effective continuum of care connects essential maternal, newborn and child health, reproductive health and family planning through adolescence, pregnancy, childbirth, postnatal and newborn periods through childhood and along a woman’s life cycle. We work with local communities and key stakeholders as partners in improving the skills of health workers and strengthening health systems to bring quality care closer to the home
In partnership with the County Health Department and Local health facilities, BHECO established a safe Birth in a Box in Magbwi and Terekeka County. Safe Birth in a Box Project for over two years provided outreach, and education services for women with high-risk pregnancies. Each year, we train hundreds of community health workers, including traditional birth attendants, to identify women with high-risk pregnancies and refer them to health facility for care, monitoring and safe delivery. The program has provided more than 100,000 + South Sudanesse women with culturally-sensitive and high-quality reproductive health care and enabled more than 20,000 safe deliveries since 2019.
In South Sudan, Our project takes a person-centered approach to reducing maternal and newborn mortality and improving family health, providing free childbirth education, postpartum and breastfeeding support, with a focus on women living in hard-to-reach communities. The project seeks to improve birth outcomes and support early child development through healthy and nurturing parent-child interactions.
