Since launching in Germany in March 2023, Juniper has grown into a trusted partner for customers seeking evidence-based weight management care in a market where nearly 1 in 5 adults lives with obesity. Juniper’s program, backed by clinical research, pairs personalised treatment with consistent, high-touch clinical support, with a particular focus on connecting women to the weight loss care they need. With the acquisition of Eucalyptus, Hims & Hers brings additional resources and operational expertise to the evidence-based, personalised weight management care Juniper has provided to customers in Germany for years.

"Germany has taken meaningful steps to recognize obesity as a chronic disease, but access to effective, personalised care still lags far behind the need," said Andrew Dudum, co-founder and CEO of Hims & Hers. "With this acquisition we can help close that gap at scale, bringing world-class technology and clinical infrastructure to a team that has already earned the trust of people across Germany."

To best serve its customers in Germany, Hims & Hers will continue to invest in a local clinical approach, and patients will continue to be connected with providers who are licensed in the local region, understand the healthcare landscape they're navigating, and bring the expertise and clinical rigour this kind of care demands. Hims & Hers also looks forward to potentially introducing new categories of care to the market in the future.

As Hims & Hers grows in Germany, continuity of care is a top priority. For customers already receiving care through Juniper, their treatment continues uninterrupted. Joining Hims & Hers gives the team in Germany the backing to keep building on a model that patients have come to trust, with more resources and reach behind it.

"Germany has one of the most discerning health consumers in the world, and German patients hold their care to an exceptionally high standard, as they should," said Ryan Nolan, Vice President of International at Juniper. "Hims & Hers brings the ability to meet that standard at scale. Their technology, clinical infrastructure and condition ecosystem means we can deliver a better quality experience to more customers than ever before. We’re excited to continue developing the German telehealth ecosystem into the high touch, compliant clinical care its patients deserve."

Closing brings world-class technology and clinical infrastructure to a market where Juniper has helped patients achieve clinically meaningful weight loss

BIRAO, Central African Republic (AP) — The agony began for Maude Ahmad Fadala shortly after sunset.

Her baby was coming. She was in a refugee camp, weakened by typhoid. There were no camp facilities for what was about to happen, and she had no money to travel. She struggled to her feet and started walking.

She stopped every few minutes, gripped by pain from contractions, then could go no farther.

“I gave birth in the street," she said. "There was no doctor, no midwife, and no one holding my hand.”

This is part of a series on maternal mortality in sub-Saharan Africa, which has the world’s fastest-growing population and accounts for 70% of global maternal deaths. Around 180,000 pregnancy deaths are recorded every year across the continent, along with the deaths of about 1 million newborns.

Nearly two-thirds of maternal deaths worldwide occur in countries affected by conflict or “fragility,” the World Health Organization said this year. For women like Fadala, fleeing Sudan’s war to countries like Central African Republic, the danger doesn’t stop at the border.

Displacement can mean missed prenatal appointments, dangerous journeys and weakened health systems, often in remote settings.

Women in Central African Republic are 40 times more likely to die in pregnancy or childbirth than in the United States, the United Nations has said. For every 100,000 births in the country, one of the world's poorest, 829 women die.

Years of internal conflict have made Central African Republic and its health system fragile. Despite its vast reserves of gold, health services are scarce outside major cities. One in three people live on less than $2 a day.

The government, aware of its maternal mortality problem, announced a plan in 2024 to increase spending for resources such as skilled birth attendants. Officials did not respond to questions about how it's working.

Now, sweeping cuts in humanitarian aid funding by top donor the United States and other countries have made it even harder for women to find care.

In the remote town of Birao near the Sudan border, where Fadala shelters, four local midwives who had been supported by the U.N. Population Fund lost their jobs last year as the Trump administration cut every U.S. funding agreement with the U.N. sexual and reproductive health agency.

Opposite Fadala's tent is a former UNFPA-funded “safe space” providing transport for pregnant women to the district hospital. It was one of four such spaces in Birao serving nearly 50,000 women. Those have closed without U.S. funding, along with two U.S.-backed health facilities.

Now, "some women run the risk of dying in pregnancy situations that are not medically managed,” said UNFPA program officer Marie Justine Mamba Ibingui.

UNFPA's budget in Central African Republic has been halved in the past two years to $6.5 million, country director Victor Rakoto said. UNFPA was the only provider of reproductive health products in Birao.

“The risk of maternal death is going to increase if there is no solution,” Rakoto said.

Conflict-affected settings like Birao account for six in 10 maternal deaths globally, according to the U.N.

The district hospital, which Fadala had tried to reach, is a few kilometers (over a mile) away over dirt roads.

On a recent day, birthing assistant Delphine Zanabe moved between patients as dozens of women waited, sitting thigh-to-thigh on hard benches in the sweltering heat. Some had walked for hours to reach the hospital. Others had risked their pregnancy with motorbike journeys over rough ground.

From the border, adjoining a part of Sudan held by paramilitary forces fighting the Sudanese military, it’s a 65-kilometer (40-mile) journey to the refugee camp.

“They only come when they are about to give birth,” Zanabe said. “It’s a struggle and it’s either the baby or the mother who suffers.” According to WHO guidelines, pregnant women should attend at least eight prenatal consultations.

For refugees, living in survival mode in unfamiliar surroundings compounds the challenges of poverty and lack of education. Zanabe said those factors often put women at risk for pregnancy and childbirth complications.

In the maternity ward, eight beds were in a room so small they almost touched. They serve a population of about 70,000 people, along with 22,000 Sudanese refugees.

Doctors said 12 staffers have lost their jobs as a result of aid cuts. The majority were from the maternity department.

Amna Adam Hessen had arrived the day before, burning with fever from malaria. Her unborn child was found to be in a breech position, a discovery made late because she had missed prenatal appointments. Brought by motorbike from the refugee camp, she bled heavily during labor and lost her baby.

The next day, her mother, Salet, fanned her in the suffocating heat.

“Giving birth here is exhausting,” she said, describing the long and difficult night.

Amna writhed with fever on the bare foam mattress and cried out, “Mama, mama."

Zanabe is worried about future cuts in humanitarian assistance affecting mothers.

Over 40% of births in Central African Republic already occur away from medical facilities, the United Nations has estimated — a traditional approach that risks otherwise preventable complications.

Clara Abessendé was one of the four midwives who lost their jobs.

She had watched as the number of women arriving daily at the hospital tripled after Sudan's war began in early 2023, and as staffers ran out of supplies like antibiotics and malaria treatments.

“As a result, there were more cases of infant and maternal deaths," she said.

Abessendé said she feels heavy with the guilt of having to leave her job.

“The children born in my hands .. .I abandoned them like that," she said.

Katidje Idrisse Tahire is one of the women she's no longer there to help.

Tahire walked slowly through the refugee camp to fetch water, one child on her back and two others at her side. She was late in her ninth month, preparing to have another.

She said she fled Sudan four months ago on foot. At the border, armed men robbed her of everything. Her husband hasn’t been seen since they fled Darfur.

“My whole body aches,” she said. “I am very tired and unwell.”

She has no money and doesn't know if care will be available when her baby comes.
