South Sudan
What is happening in South Sudan?
-
Since 1995, HealthNet TPO has provided primary healthcare and hospital services in the region of South Sudan. We focus on strengthening the health system, improving mental health, and preventing gender-based violence. We collaborate with local authorities and involve community leaders to build resilient communities.
South Sudan experiences conflict involving government forces, opposition groups, and militias, causing civilian casualties and displacement. This situation disrupts stability and worsens economic challenges, with declining oil revenue limiting the government’s capacity to provide social services.

Conflict and food insecurity have forced many to flee their homes, resulting in overcrowded camps with limited access to food, water, and sanitation. Over a third of Sudan’s refugees have sought safety in South Sudan.
Sexual and gender-based violence remains a concern within the conflict. Conditions for pregnant women and mothers are among the most challenging globally, with high maternal mortality rates.
