Abstract:
Background: The provision of quality family planning services can be impacted by various factors, including lack of funding, conflict, political instability, and economic instability. Objective: To analyze government Family Planning policies, guidelines and strategies existing gaps influencing the quality of family planning in Sudan, factors that influence patient satisfaction and provide recommendations and best practices to the Sudan Federal Ministry of Health. Methods: A literature review using Judith Bruce Fundamental Elements of the Quality of Care. Only English and Arabic literature was included in the study. Results and Conclusion: The health sector in Sudan is suffering from a lack of funding, particularly for sexual and reproductive services such as family planning. These services depend entirely on external donations, and there is also a problem with inadequate distribution of resources and stockouts of family planning commodities. Recommendation: The government should prioritize allocating a budget for sexual and Reproductive Health commodity procurement and explore sustainable funding methods. Strengthening family planning services can be achieved by training healthcare professionals, incentivizing health workers, and expanding community health worker programs.
