The British & American Friends of Southern Sudan (BAFOSS), a non-governmental organisation (NGO), is planning to organise an international conference in London in July 14, 2005, to discuss how to establish better health service in Southern Sudan after the signing of the peace agreement. Your input, in whatever form, will be highly appreciated and we ask all interested personnel to actively participate in the success of this conference.

The Southern Sudan Government must show strong political leadership to avert epidemics such as Malaria, HIV/AIDs etc. Priorities are to be given to tropical and preventive medicine, and especially the daunting challenges to eradicate typhoid, tetanus, whooping cough, TB, polio and measles in children. The spread of Malaria, ebola, kalazar, HIV/AIDS and River Blindness (Onchocerciasis) ought to be addressed in a serious way. The problems associated with the return of the refugees are special, and has to be catered for.



Southern Sudan is about one third of the Sudan, with a population of 9 million. To date this population is served by 80 doctors and less than 600 nurses only.

We are asking interested experts to help in making life better for these people. Any input, in whatever form, will be highly appreciated.





The important issues that are going to be addressed:

· What is the most suitable type of health system to be adopted: Primary care/health centres, GP, district general hospitals/ tertiary centre, teaching hospitals? Others..?

· Look into the role of the 3 southern medical schools in the short and long term health provision in the south.

· The African solution to an African problem

· The link between the various providers. One of the biggest problems in many healthcare systems is the gulf between the frontline clinical staff and the policy makers and managers. Strong links must be established from the outset between these groups

· The Southern Sudan Government must show strong political leadership to avert epidemics such as Malaria, HIV/AIDs etc

· The building of clinical set-ups in all specialities

· Tropical and preventive medicine: eradication of Typhoid, Tetanus, Whooping cough, TB, Polio and measles in children.

· Childcare and women’s diseases.

· Vaccination of all children under 5 years of age

· The establishment of schools for the training of members of the allied medical profession: nurses, lab technicians etc.

· Establishing the fundamental for good working relationship between all health providers especially between the ministry of health and the academic institutions

· The recruitment and the retention of excellent staff

· The creation of governing bodies that would over see the provision of excellent health care to all

· The build up of proper database and mechanisms to gather and manage statistics

· The layout of guidelines for governing clinical excellence/ audit etc.

· Private medical practice and the criteria that regulates it.
