The card of the health development road in Sudan post -war – something for the fatherland – ✍️ Mr. Salah is strange
After the war, the health sector in Sudan represents a real test of the desire to recover and national resilience, and to transform the complex challenges produced by social and economic reality into reconstruction possibilities. The visions that were presented at the National Health Sector Forum, which was maintained under the slogan “health bridge of the response to recovery and sustainability”, indicates a deliberate passage of the emergency rescue stage to the development of complete strategies for sustainable health development.
At the heart of the recovery process, “the white army” stands healthy managers, who have formed Imad Al -Samoud in the last step. The organizers have confirmed that these executives represent the main pillar of the development of the desired health. This estimate reflects an awareness of the importance of human resources as an invaluable origin, and the need to support and allow these skills to support the burden of reconstruction and to widen the services. Human health is the main pillar of all sustainable development, and it cannot be carried out without qualified and stimulating managers.
Official declarations confirm that Sudan has already started to go from the emergency response phase to the recovery and reconstruction stage. This transformation requires the development of a complete reconstruction plan, which is implemented by progressive projects in close cooperation with the United Nations agencies and regional and international partners. The supreme objective of this plan is to obtain complete coverage of health services for all citizens.
This ambition requires close governance and coordination, as speakers have stressed that the management of rare resources, post-war reality, requires rational leadership, effective governance and close coordination between various sectors. He underlined the need to restructure coordination platforms to build a healthy and efficient health system in partnership and guarantee funding, because the real partnership with the private sector represents the cornerstone to guarantee sustainable funding which ensures the continuity of services. The call to activate “intelligent partnerships” confirms that investment in health is a collective national responsibility which requires innovative solutions and an integration of roles.
War resulted in a complex social reality. Consequently, the development of health cannot be separated from human development and social protection. Focusing on awareness and education programs, rejecting hatred speech and promoting social cohesion, as well as facilitation of the voluntary return of the move, is an integral part of the total recovery plan, because the recommendations are converted into practical programs that combine health, protection and development.
The media has an important role as a strategic partner to support health plans and promote national programs. Highlighting the importance of unification of media messages aims to serve public health problems and help implement awareness and education strategies that aim to rebuild social fabric and support a return to normal life.
The transition from the response to sustainability in the health sector is based on the succession of the challenges of two axes; Obtaining sustainable funding and determining the effective role of international organizations in the recovery phase, the health sector in Sudan is faced with serious financing challenges caused by the effects of war and complex economic reality. The general framework offered by the forum highlights the need to move from understanding emergency financing to the construction of a flexible and sustainable financing system.
The war has led to the destruction of health infrastructure and the displacement of executives, which exacerbated the scarcity of available resources, while the health needs of the population, in particular displaced and affected, increased. This disparity creates an enormous financing gap which is difficult to fill the efforts of the government alone. Funding after war often tends to focus on an emergency response (such as basic supplies and injury treatment). The challenge consists in converting this funding to serve long -term development objectives, such as the reconstruction of destructive hospitals, eligible executives and the financing of complete health coverage programs.
Orientation indicates the activation of “smart partnerships with the private sector” as a solution to sustainable financing. This requires an attractive investment environment, and despite the war, the mechanisms that guarantee that the private sector must be created sustainable yields and encourage it to invest in health services and medical technologies. And the search for financing solutions which exceeds dependence on a government budget or direct aid, such as health solidarity funds, or a partnership between the public and private sectors in the management and exploitation of facilities, and that the call for “rational leadership and effective governance” reflects the awareness that the scarcity of resources requires its management with maximum efficiency and transparency. Ensuring funding, reaching the most needy areas and waste prevention and corruption is a prerequisite for the success of any financing plan.
International organizations (United Nations agencies, international NGOs, regional donors) play a decisive role, but this role requires restructuring to adapt to the recovery and sustainability stage, generally at the crisis stage, international organizations often play the direct implementation of services. In the recovery phase, its role must be transformed by supporting national capacities, helping to qualify and training national executives, to support the administrative structures of the ministry and to direct funding towards national priorities, such as complete coverage and reinfrastructure, rather than focusing on isolated projects.
The forum highlighted the need to “restructure coordination platforms”, which reflects a challenge in the management of relations between the government and international partners. In order to unify efforts to ensure that the work of organizations is integrating into the complete national reconstruction plan, avoiding the duality of services, by establishing solid and transparent coordination mechanisms which guarantee the commitment of organizations to the priorities determined by the government, and facilitate national supervision and monitoring.
International organizations are called upon to support the construction of a “real partnership bridge that expresses the response to sustainability”. This means facilitating the partnership between sectors using its influence to link the health sector to other sectors (such as water, food security and social protection) to guarantee an integrated approach to human development and work as a bridge between the government and global and regional donors to guarantee long -term financing obligations.
In short, the challenge is to create a flexible national document that distributes roles and responsibilities, and is used international support as a tool to allow national health systems rather than replacing them.
In conclusion, the forum represents a historical step aimed at producing a flexible national document in which roles and responsibilities are distributed between partners according to the priorities of the scene. The slogan that the country has raised in the international forums “that we resist and earn” confirms that popular will and constancy represent the driving force not only for conflict, but the complete development process that puts health at the top of its priorities. The success of the implementation of the results of this forum in practice in the field is what actually embodies the transition from the “response bridge” to “recovery and sustainability” in Sudan.
