The Central African Republic (CAR) has made significant strides in improving public health, but challenges remain, particularly in the shortage of health professionals, limited access to heath facilities in rural areas, and health funding. Communicable diseases like malaria, respiratory infections, and diarrheal diseases continue to pose serious health risks, especially for children and vulnerable populations. Maternal and child mortality rates also remain high.
In response, CAR with the support from Financing Alliance for Health (FAH), has initiated evidence-based reforms focused on strengthening primary health care (PHC) system to enhance access to quality Sexual, Reproductive, Maternal, Neonatal, Child, and Adolescent Health (SRMNCAH) services and move towards Universal Health Coverage. FAH is providing technical assistance to support the implementation of the ongoing reforms, including capacity building, improving strategic planning at all levels and health financing system governance. .
FAH remains dedicated to collaborating with CAR’s MOHP to make a lasting impact on public health, driving sustainable improvements in the health system, and improving healthcare outcomes for all.
