The Peer-to-Peer Mentorship Program: Exchange



I am very delighted to work as a UN volunteer with support from UNFPA and through your excellent leadership management skills in the UNFPA office.
I have gained a lot of knowledge, working experience and skills in delivering healthcare services, and positively contributing to the reduction of maternal/neonatal mortality and morbidity in South Sudan.

TESTIMONIAL



Kindly, I have just arrived from my tour of Canada and visit to my fellow peer Brianna Cavan. It was so amazing and a wonderful visit to Brianna.
She received us very friendly and had taken a lot of conversation and tour around the hospital with us… Thank you for all the support and kindness you have really shown me through UNFPA. I will also show my commitment to UNFPA and my community and my fellow peer group. Brianna thank you for making the day possible and joyful.

Crowded hospitals and mothers in need >>>
A pregnant woman arrived at the Kuajok Hospital in South Sudan in desperate need of a cesarean section. Joseph Deng, a midwife on duty that night, says he knew the situation was urgent. Without the procedure, neither she nor the twins she carried would survive…

The Peer-to-Peer exchange has taught me that midwifery passion is universal.
Our souls share the same dreams: Healthy Mothers (Pregnant People) and Healthy Babies.
