Improving Health Outcomes Amidst Crisis in Yemen

JSI partnered with the Ministry of Health in Yemen to revitalize health care for women and children during ongoing conflict. By strengthening local capacity and community-based care, the project improved the lives of over 1.8 million people. Strategic social and behavior change initiatives reached 5.7 million individuals with vital health and nutrition information, while solutions like SMS reminders drove a 41% increase in vaccination coverage. These efforts led to a rise in skilled birth attendance from 69% to 93% and significantly increased the uptake of antenatal care and family planning, ensuring life-saving services reached those most in need.
