Every Child Survives and Thrives
Advocacy brief, 2023
About
This brief focuses on the critical goals of reducing preventable maternal and child mortality while enhancing maternal and child health within Lesotho, aligning with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The country’s health care system includes various facilities, from health centres to specialized hospitals, but is under strain due to evolving global challenges, particularly exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This disruption has hindered progress in key health indicators, affecting the most vulnerable populations, especially children. Access to quality healthcare and essential services during key developmental stages is crucial for children’s survival and future well-being.
