Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: South Sudan’s healthcare sector faces challenges such as limited infrastructure, shortage of healthcare professionals, and insufficient funding. Private hospitals have emerged as a vital component in addressing these issues, yet their potential remains constrained without adequate government support. This article examines the strategies through which the government can advance private hospitals, including policy formulation, financial incentives, public-private partnerships, and capacity building. By fostering collaboration with the private sector, the government can strengthen the healthcare system and improve service delivery across the country.
