Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Health officials in South Sudan are meeting in Juba to discuss the status of the health sector ahead of a new multi-donor project due to replace the Health Pooled Fund.<\/p>\n

The three-year Health Sector Transformation Project expected to kick off in July shall be financed by the government and a group of donors.<\/p>\n

These include the US Agency for Internal Development, World Health Organization, World Bank, UNICEF, Canada, and GAVI.<\/p>\n

Other partners including the Global Fund, European Union, Health Pooled Fund, and UKAID, shall channel the fund through the multi-donors Trust fund which will finance the 3-year project.<\/p>\n

The total funding for the new initiative known as the Health Sector Transformation Project, due to start in July is projected at 157 million US dollars yearly.<\/p>\n

According to the government, the project shall transform the current health system into a harmonized and coordinated government-led system.<\/p>\n

It aims to restructure governance, monitoring, reporting, and implementation processes for more effective and unified health service delivery across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a new project that will be giving health services for the nation for the next 3 years,\u201d said Dr. Ader Macar, Undersecretary of the National Ministry of Health.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will be replacing the Health Pooled Fund (HPF) which will be ending on the 30th of June this year. And it [Health Sector Transformation Project] will be kicking off on the 21st of July.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the health ministry, the new project with an annual allocation of 157 million US dollars shall cover 1,158 health facilities in the ten states and three administrative areas.<\/p>\n

It shall help run a sustainable healthcare system with increased government investment in the health sector.<\/p>\n

This is to deliver equitable essential health services, strengthen the health system, and consolidate partnerships to achieve the country\u2019s universal agenda.<\/p>\n

In his opening remarks, Vice President for Service Cluster Hussein Abdelbagi Akol emphasized the need to empower and build the capacity of healthcare workers in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish to emphasize the urgent need to support health workers capacity, especially in the field of Nursing, laboratory technology, radiology, imaging and pharmacology,\u201d said the vice president.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe project must not only focus on consumable supplies but also offer capacity in technical practices that compliment medical dispensation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abdelbagi also appeals to donor countries who have cut their budget towards the health sector to reconsider their decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cI understand some donors completely pull out while the remaining one reduces their budgetary allocation to our healthcare service whatever the reasons are I appeal to them to reconsider their decision.\u201d<\/p>\n
