Poor Health care for women,  new mother and newborn child’s survival. Our  solution is about  presenting an integrated Maternal,perinatal and new born  health care , providing technical supports, policy amendments and educating the masses on marternal ,perinatal and new born  survival tips  design to improve their health and lifestyles  before ,during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period, whereas prenatal health refers to health from 22 completed weeks of gestation until 7 completed days after birth. Newborn health is the babies’ first month of life. A healthy start during the perinatal period influences infancy, childhood and adulthood.Maternal, perinatal and newborn health matters to every person, society and country, and should be viewed from both a human rights and well-being perspective as highly important topics

• Provision of integrated maternal health care, policy changes and educating the public about survival tips,while strengthening the family participation.
• Conducting Training to the health workers to boost their efficiency in providing maternal health.
• Recruiting more health ,proving  incentives support to motivates doctors and health workers,
• Supplying supportive and recommended drug for treatment during pregnancy and postpartum period will improve health care standard and cure leading to quality deliveries and solve post deliveries complications. drugs like cefixime and ceftriaxone injection for treating sexual transmitted diseases
• Supportive feeding programme to the economically vulnerable pregnant women to boost their immunity to fight killer diseases and increase their chances of survival.

  We are targeting estimate of 400,000  women and their husband making it 800,000 people  in the Counties of  Torit,  Magwi, Budi  Kapoeate East ,Kapoeta North and Kapoeta South, Lafon in Easter Eastern Equatoria State in South Sudan and we will continue to the next most affect State, We implement this project in one year timeframe in Easter Equatoria and the next year will be in Northern Bar-el-gazen and lastly Bentiu, 3 years period. Our program will consider providing solutions and guiding parents’ overall health care, nutrition and lifestyles they choose before getting pregnancy since it will affect fertility and play roles on child’s health and survival and  during pregnancy the dynamics of work and home life, as well as physiological and psychological needs, change in preparation for parenthood. A healthy environment and healthy lifestyle during the 40 weeks of pregnancy are important to optimize health in a woman’s changing body while during delivery; complications may require immediate professional care. That is why high-quality, evidenced-based emergency obstetric and neonatal care is one of our’s highest priorities to reduce illness and death in mothers and their newborn babies. Monitoring maternal and newborn health during the postpartum period is critical  

We are solving a problem of very high mortality rate among women, new mother and new born mortality rate in Eastern state, places affected most by the 21 years civil wars  and  little has been done by the new government in the wake of the 2013 civil wars ,some of these areas are so remote to be access since the roads are  totally in bad shape , we are losing so many women ,mothers and newborn kids and the only solutions is only by providing an integrated maternal health care and changing  the policy.

We have proved of the concept as we are writing this proposal, we have implemented a similar project in refugees’ camps including Kiryandongo Refugees Settlement in Uganda. For many years although we have modified the ideas by incorporating engaging the policy makers to change maternal health care policy and engaging the public on an  extensive education and awareness so that as to choose health and lifestyles that that increase child and ,mother development and cure while reducing  their mortality rate and our feasibility results shows that it has  worked a very well, many of the people can testify that indeed they are now feeling more secured since they can now access to  right support to boost integrated  maternal health care. In term of it scale and scope of our operation and this  give a clear picture  to the idea that the concept is market-ready. Furthermore, We have also demonstrated to the people already and have seen the maternal health sector improving as well as reduction in mortality rate. Secondly we are not just relying on our feasibility study of the concept, the innovation has been  approved  by so many  international Organizations already ,for instance the  like the WHO,UNICEF and USAID is a   clear prove  that this is a workable idea although it is first of its time in South Sudan and  we are confident that  an integrated maternal programme  is the right measure to combat the alarming mortality among women ,new mother and new born babies.

According  to radiocentre study known as the radio multiplier study-ad awareness or the Millward Brown study which involved nearly 5500 show on the radio as a mode of communications and radio proved to be the most effective in term of cost and coverage and that If 10% of a given TV budget is re-deployed onto radio, the efficiency of the campaign in building awareness increases on average by 15%. This study can be related to our environment here in South Sudan whereby we have no electricity and very few media houses are available apart from the radios but with advancement in technologies we will also used  our social media and radio concurrently compare to other technologies and secondly vehicles are to aid mobility in the field while microscope is for the general check for the right treatment and cure. These are the most important technologies needed for the implementation of this project should it be approved.
