ABSTRACT

This study examines the impact of procurement policy and practices on social sustainability of the Government’s Southern Sudan Ministry of Health in the Central Equatoria State Directory of Pharmaceutical Services (Juba). Findings revealed that the health wing of the Government of Central Equatoria lacks the depth of health procurement competition, practical experience, technical skills, or sufficient capital to respond to the challenges of reconstructing the procurement institution. It is in this light that the study calls for the improvement of health sustainability of the society and people of Southern Sudan. The Ministry of Health, Government of Southern Sudan, and CES, in particular, should establish and use standard procurement, stocking, and logistics systems that are internationally recognized to enable the ministry to undertake international contracting, bidding, stocking, and transportation. More so, there is need to maintain, and further develop an affordable, useful, and functioning communications network, using modern information and technology systems. Standardization of equipment should be ensured so that spare parts are more easily obtainable and servicing simpler.

Keywords: Climate change, Impact, Pharmaceutical services, Procurement policy, Social sustainability.
