Mission
Church Mission Society (CMS)
We support Nicci Maxwell a consultant in neonatal medicine who is based in Juba, the capital of South Sudan. Nicci says "I divide my time between; (i) supporting the establishment of a neonatal service and training future paediatricians at the Al Sabah Children’s Hospital, and (ii) working in basic health care at Gorom Refugee Settlement." South Sudan has the highest rates of maternal and infant mortality in the world and fourth highest rates of both infant and child deaths, so good paediatric care is desperately needed.
