Micro-franchised Community Health Workers Extending Maternal and Child Health Care in South Sudan

With just 124 doctors serving 10 million people, South Sudan has one of the world's worst child (135 in 1,000) and maternal (2,054 in 100,000) mortality rates.  A public-private system of micro-franchised mobile health workers, created by this project in partnership with the local government and South Sudanese-Canadian doctors, will help extend healthcare throughout South Sudan.
