  • CMMB SOUTH SUDAN PROFILE Children and Mothers’ Partnerships, Western Equatoria State
    CMMB SOUTH SUDAN PROFILE Children and Mothers’ Partnerships, Western Equatoria State June 2015 CMMB 100 Wall Street, 9th Floor New York, NY 10005 www.cmmb.org SOUTH SUDAN PROFILE: CHILDREN AND MOTHERS’ PARTNERSHIPS (CHAMPS), WESTERN EQUATORIA STATE Introduction Catholic Medical Mission Board has launched CHAMPS—a 15-year, comprehensive initiative to target the most prevalent and fundamental causes of mortality and morbidity among women and children in targeted communities around the world. One of these communities is Nzara County, an impoverished, remote area in South Sudan’s Western Equatoria State (WES) that has a population of roughly 72,000 and, after years of civil war and other violence, suffers from a host of major public health problems. These difficulties are highlighted by numerous disturbing statistics, as WES suffers from one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world, as well as post-natal care. CMMB recently conducted an extensive assessment of health-related needs in Nzara, including a study of health facilities in Nzara as well as the surrounding area, such as Yambio State Hospital, which is in neighboring Yambio County, is the primary referral hospital for Nzara County, and serves a catchment area of 187,000 people. The assessment also included a household survey questionnaire, key informant/stakeholder interviews, and focus groups, through which the community identified key health issues. The assessment highlighted serious problems with respect to services for pregnant women, HIV, public education, clean water, gender-based violence, child protection, and nutrition. These problems are systemic in nature, and cannot be solved through discrete, isolated interventions; rather, a multi-faceted approach is needed.
