Today October 20, Dr. Victoria Anib Majur, the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Health officiated a High Level Advocacy meeting for the establishment of South Sudan Public Health Institute (SSPHI).

The new Institute is expected to strengthen ideas, research, programs and individuals transforming public health in South Sudan.

While speaking at the event, Dr. Victoria said "it is a milestone that have been achieved".

The event was conducted in partnership with African CDC (Centers for Disease and Control) and African Union.

At least representatives from Parliament, government officials as well as health partners namely UNICEF, WHO, US CDC, UNDP, Intra-Health and African CDC participated in the event.

Dr. Victoria called on the parliamentarians to push for the Bill so that it is rectified in time.

South Sudan Public Health Institute was initiated in February 2019 when the Minister constituted a technical working group to realize the vision.

On Oct 19, 2021, the country's Governance cluster passed the Bill that aims to establish the Institute.

It is hoped that the Bill is soon presented to the Council of Ministers and Parliament for final adoption.
