UNICEF, working alongside the Government of the United Kingdom via the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), and closely collaborating with the South Sudan Ministry of Health, has begun building and rehabilitating key health facilities in various states of South Sudan.

The initiative is part of a six-month programme titled “Building Resilient Primary Health Care Systems: Community Health and Health Facility Support in South Sudan”, which aims to improve access to quality maternal, newborn, child health, and nutrition services in some of the country’s most underserved and crisis-affected regions. The rehabilitated and newly constructed facilities are expected to be completed and officially handed over to the Government of South Sudan by March 2026.
