The Central African Republic0:27already had one of the highest maternal0:29mortality rates world [music] and was0:30dealing with internal conflict when war0:32erupted in Sudan in 2023, [music]0:35according to The Independent. Since that0:37war, the number of pregnant women0:38needing services at the hospital in B A0:40has more than tripled.0:42At the same moment, [music] aid cuts0:44stripped the capacity to absorb them.0:46All the midwives were let go, [music]0:48leaving Assistant to the Line to manage0:49all consultations alone. And at Barou's0:52refugee camp,0:53>> [music]0:53>> UN mobile maternity clinics were0:55dismantled when funding was cut.0:57Displacement that began in 2023 has not0:59reversed, but [music] points of care1:01that could have diverted patients away1:03from B A were removed just as demand1:05surged.

Both [music] cases trace the same1:21line from violence during flight to a1:22maternity system without staff or mobile1:24clinics to absorb the surge. [music] The1:26contradiction is that needs tripled as1:28care points were removed. A border1:30hospital with 60 beds now funnels1:32deliveries for nearly [music] 40,0001:33people with no midwives and no UN mobile1:36clinics at Barou to ease the load.1:37[music] And what remains unresolved is1:39whether funding and staffing will be1:41restored to match a displacement [music]1:42that started in 2023, or whether1:44deliveries will continue through an1:45overstretched hospital already at its1:47limit.อ่านบทความลำดับเวลาของเรื่องHeyDexคลิปสั้น ↗
