  • Medical training and professional development

The Directorate of Medical Training and Professional Development is responsible for the pre-service and in-service training of medical cadres in South Sudan. It is currently responsible for the operations of the Health Training Institutes where mid-level cadres such as nurses, midwives, medical officers and laboratory technicians are trained. There are currently twelve Health Training Institutes operating in South Sudan, with plans to open six more in the coming year, to ensure that there are training opportunities available locally for all students.

Health workers are one of the core building blocks of the national health system. The MoH has identified human resources for health (HRH) as the most important resource in the delivery of healthcare services. South Sudan faces a human resources for health crisis. Staffing levels and training are inadequate. Support, remuneration and career development opportunities for staff are insufficient. Skill mixes at all levels are inappropriate. Workloads are inequitable, with some staff members working very hard whilst others have low productivity and are de-motivated. The workforce is concentrated in urban areas and hospitals, at the expense of rural areas and primary healthcare facilities.

PHEOC

Generic activities to be undertaken within the first 72 hours

South Sudan has been affected by the recurrent public health emergencies, including cholera, measles, Meningitis, Rift Valley Fever(RVF) as well as yellow fever in different parts of the country.

The country was responding to different public health emergencies through the existing emergency coordination platforms: National Task Force (NTF), technical working groups(TWG) which constitute members from different government sectors, UN agencies and national and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and other partners.

To contribute to strengthening of national capacity for coordinating, the preparedness and response efforts, the Ministry of Health(MOH) of the Republic of South Sudan with support of the World Health Organization(WHO) established and officially inaugurated a public health emergency operation center (PHEOC) in October 2018. A PHEOC plays critical role in fulfilling the areas of emergency support functions of the nation, international Health Regulation (IHR-2005) obligations as well as the integrated Disease Surveillance and Response )IDSR) core functons.
