Self-care for maternal and reproductive health in conflict settings: qualitative case study in Nuba Mountains, Sudan

Self-care is a critical component of Reproductive, Maternal, and Neonatal Health (RMNH), offering women the knowledge, skills, and autonomy needed for well-being throughout the reproductive cycle. This paper explores the significance of self-care in conflict-affected regions, where access to formal healthcare is limited. Such areas place pregnant women at higher risk due to increased incidents of adverse events during pregnancy and childbirth. Self-care interventions have the potential to enhance access to quality healthcare services.
