Abstract

Conflict-affected settings impact the implementation of effective reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health (RMNCAH) programs and policies. Pregnant women, neonates, children, and adolescents are at higher risk of dying in fragile and conflict-affected settings. The article provides health policy background and context details charting RMNCAH data. South Sudan remains one of the most volatile states in the world. Ministry of Health (MoH) leadership along with enhanced governance and accountability mechanisms are key determinants for strengthened health systems. Due to the instability of the country and multiple international partner dynamics, the policy context changes quickly.
