Programmes in Southern Sudan
Post-conflict Health Systems strengthening programme
Since 2004 HealthNet TPO is active in Western Bahr el Ghazal State through Dutch government funding, which got a follow up through again Dutch government funding (MFS II) in 2011. The programme encourages the State Ministry of Health (SMOH) to take charge of the full implementation of health service provision. The Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) in Juba released treatment guidelines for Primary Health Care Centres and Primary Health Care Units to which HealthNet TPO contributed with regard to mental health. The capacity of three established County Health Departments (Aweil North in Northern Bahr el Ghazal, Raja and Jur River County in Western Bahr el Ghazal) is strengthened to ensure that health service delivery is expanded and improved.

HealthNet TPO in Southern Sudan
Since 2004 HealthNet TPO has been working towards the strengthening of health systems and the integration of mental health care into the primary care package of South Sudan. We presently work in Northern Bahr el Ghazal, Western Bahr el Ghazal State, Warrap and Unity States. As of 9 July 2011, South Sudan is an independent country. Though the challenges for the new state are enormous and the future is still uncertain, HealthNet TPO aims to continue and intensify its support to the South Sudanese.
