 A new study examining maternal and newborn deaths in South Sudan suggests that many of the deaths could be prevented. The research identifies severe bleeding after childbirth, delayed access to care and weaknesses within the health system as major contributing factors. In this interview, lead researcher Dr Zechariah Malel breaks down the findings, explains the "three delays" affecting mothers and babies, and discusses practical steps that could help save lives and strengthen maternal healthcare services across the country.
