With two-thirds of South Sudan’s healthcare facilities being non-functional in 2023, people’s access to basic healthcare remains extremely limited.

Continuing violence, recurrent disease outbreaks, and ongoing displacement are all set against a backdrop of already limited access to basic services in South Sudan and now organisations that have been filling gaps are facing funding cuts by their donors. This is all while an estimated 820,000 people have crossed into South Sudan as of September 2024, searching for safety from the conflict in Sudan, whether as a returnee or refugee.

MSF teams are dedicated to providing a range of services in six of South Sudan’s 10 states, and in two administrative areas. Our services include basic healthcare, mental health support, vaccinations, disease outbreak response, and more.
