(asked on 20th April 2023) - View Source

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what are their plans to reinstate aid funding to the Health Pooled Fund in support of hospitals and health care centres across South Sudan.


This question was answered on 2nd May 2023

The UK is the largest donor to the Health Pooled Fund (HPF) in South Sudan providing up to £175 million from 2018 to 2024. In August 2022, the FCDO, on behalf of HPF donors, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of South Sudan setting out how we'll work together to transition responsibility for funding for eight state hospitals. HPF completed the phased withdrawal from the eight state and referral hospitals by 31 March 2023. In mid-March 2023, the Minister of Health for South Sudan reported that the Government of South Sudan would be procuring essential medicines for the unsupported health facilities.
