Clean and safe water is transforming maternal health at Nambazo Health Centre in Phalombe, as World Vision Malawi’s WASH project reduces infections and improves dignity.

Traditional leaders across the Southern Province are collaborating with health partners to enhance the nutrition of pregnant women and safeguard the health of their babies. This comes at a time when maternal nutrition remains a concern. The 2024 Zambia Demographic and Health Survey shows that anaemia affects about one in five women of reproductive age. The survey also highlights ongoing micronutrient deficiencies among women and children, especially in rural areas. Poor nutrition during pregnancy increases the risk of illness for mothers and affects a child’s growth from the very beginning. These findings show why practical solutions and strong partnerships at the community level are needed.

Svay Ta Yean Health Center, once plagued by poor infrastructure, low patient turnout, and weak accountability, has undergone a remarkable transformation through the Implementation of the Social Accountability Framework (I-SAF). In early 2023, under the leadership of Mr. Chan Boran and with support from STAR Kampuchea, community feedback was gathered through scorecards, interface meetings, and joint action plans, sparking major improvements in service delivery, transparency, and infrastructure. Today, the health center operates 24/7, treats patients with dignity, and actively engages with the community. Monthly patient visits have tripled, and deliveries have increased significantly. Residents praise the staff’s professionalism and kindness, while management commits to sustaining progress through continuous collaboration and accountability. What was once a struggling facility is now a trusted hub of quality healthcare and citizen engagement.
