Learn about our approach

Our Vision

A society where every individual — regardless of location, identity, or circumstance — has access to quality, dignified, and life-saving healthcare, with mothers, newborns, and children at the heart of resilient community wellbeing.

Our Mission

To deliver responsive, evidence-based, and community-centered health action, prioritising Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health (MNCH) as the foundation of societal health. We strengthen local health systems, build sustainable capacity, and save lives through direct clinical service, emergency response, and community-driven healthcare across vulnerable and underserved populations.

Our Core Values

The principles that guide every action we take across South Sudan.

Maternal & Child First

The health of mothers, newborns and children is the bedrock of a thriving society — we place MNCH at the center of all we do.

Humanity

We place the dignity, rights and welfare of affected individuals at the heart of all medical action.

Neutrality

Non-discriminatory care based strictly on need, independent of ethnicity, religion, gender or politics.

Impartiality

We prioritise the most vulnerable — especially mothers, infants and those with the most urgent medical needs.

Accountability

Uncompromising transparency, integrity and ethical responsibility to communities, partners and donors.

Community Ownership

Local populations are co-creators in designing, implementing and evaluating our health programs.

Innovation & Adaptation

Flexible, evidence-based, resourceful approaches that dismantle barriers to health access.
