Veronica Ades, an obstetrician-gynecologist from New York City, is just back from her first MSF mission. She’s giving our staff a presentation on the MSF project in Aweil, South Sudan, where our teams have assisted in reducing the maternal death rate to 0.6%. With a rate of 14% in southern Sudan, the impact of the program and the importance of having women deliver in the hospital has been made abundantly clear.
You can read Veronica’s blog about her time working with MSF in South Sudan.
Daniel Berman, deputy director of the MSF Access Campaign, gives our staff a presentation on the Access Campaign’s upcoming vaccine report and his impressions from the World Vaccine Congress held in DC last week.
