Abstract

Sabina’s story illustrates the problems women face in accessing antenatal healthcare in South Sudan. In the cartoon video of her experience, she hikes 10 kilometres to the health clinic and is advised to return three more times. There is no transport other than by foot. When bad weather, social conflict, and political violence are part of the story these provide other impediments to receiving care. The 3-minute video highlights what access to health care can mean on the ground. Sabina manages to return to the heath facility, as she is determined to deliver a healthy baby. There are many challenges to implementation of antenatal care.
