DFID is the lead donor to the multi-donor Health Pooled Fund (HPF) in South Sudan which provides primary health services through over 1,000 health facilities in eight of the 10 states in South Sudan. The HPF has supported the cholera outbreak response through the provision of essential medicines, supplies and by setting up cholera treatment centres in the affected states.
