Abstract:
The widespread violence in the Republic of South Sudan (RoSS) has had a detrimental effect on the already weakened healthcare service delivery, including Basic Package of Health Services (BPHS). The conflict has led to high number of forcibly displaced population and imposed limits to access healthcare facilities providing BPHS. As result, 1 in 3 South Sudanese forcibly displaced and 22% of the health facilities non functional and half of them functioned at only 10% of their capacity(1). Various non state health actors, such as international Non-Governmental Organizations (iNGOs), Faith-Based Organizations (FBOs) and Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), support delivery of the BPHS following to decentralized governance system(2,3). Nevertheless, the health status of South Sudanese remains precarious that is manifested by the following indicators: DTP 3 immunization coverage among 1 years old is 26 %, maternal mortality is 1,150 per 100,000 live births, only 19 % of births attended by skilled birth attendants (4). The aim of the study is to find out factors influencing access and use of BPHS in the Republic of South Sudan.
