HASS Health Education Program

Goal: A significant portion of the population prefers traditional remedies over modern treatments, often due to cultural beliefs or fear of side effects.

This attitude directly affects access to modern healthcare, as individuals delay seeking treatment or avoid it altogether, worsening health outcomes.

Insights

Health education programs are essential to change these attitudes, emphasizing the importance of vaccinations, proper sanitation, and using modern medicine for preventive care, ultimately improving public health and reducing mortality rates in South Sudan.
