Every patient should be able to receive safe, quality care in all contexts...even during a public health emergency.

WHO, in collaboration with IntraHealth International and health-facility leadership, conducted supportive supervision visits to Kator, Munuki and Nyakuron primary health care centres and Al Sabah Children’s Hospital in Juba.

The teams reviewed and strengthened screening, triage and infection prevention and control measures, including hand hygiene, appropriate use of personal protective equipment, environmental cleaning and safe waste management. These measures help health workers detect public health threats early while protecting patients, staff and surrounding communities.

The visits also emphasized the importance of keeping essential services available during emergencies. Mothers and children must continue to receive care, children must be vaccinated, and people requiring emergency treatment or support for chronic conditions must not be left behind.

WHO continues to work alongside the Ministry of Health - Republic of South Sudan and partners to strengthen preparedness and ensure that safe, essential healthcare remains accessible in every community and during every emergency.
