We’re not poor. We’re just not investing wisely.
Our health system must be built by us, for us.
Let’s stop waiting and start acting.

What must South Sudan do?
✅ Pass & operationalize a National Health Insurance Scheme

In 🇸🇸 South Sudan, leaders have talked about domestic health financing.
🗣️ From Ministers to the Vice President—there's been commitment.
But words aren’t enough—we need policy, laws & ACTION.

Through my exposure with the International Program in Public Health Leadership (IPPHL) at @EvansUW, I’ve seen how 🇷🇼 🇰🇪 🇬🇭 🇪🇹 🇳🇬 🇿🇲 🇧🇼 are funding health with their own resources—through taxes, levies, & insurance schemes.

🇸🇸 South Sudan must stop depending entirely on donors to fund its health system. The future lies in domestic resource mobilization—financing our health from within. Here's how other African countries are doing it and what South Sudan must do.👇

African Health Leaders, Making change and claiming the future is an eye opener for present and future health leaders in Africa. Any aspiring health leader who want to challenge the status quo of healthcare inequalities and Quagmire must read this.

@abul_majur And head office?

[Peter Garang Ngor Ayok @PeterGarangNgor]

@DeputySecState Historically, USA played a Significant role in gaining our independence, efforts that we all know, its unfortunate unfolding that we have to bear the burden of our government actions or diplomatic enigma between Washington and Juba..

[Peter Garang Ngor Ayok @PeterGarangNgor]

@DeputySecState @DeputySecState Thank You for further clarification and given the narrative why do we have to pay the price as citizens over the disagreement of the two governments? Targeted visa revocation could have been the best option.

[Peter Garang Ngor Ayok @PeterGarangNgor]

I had an interview with @Akisawandera of BBC on the decision of US Department of State to revoke all the Visa held by South Sudanese. This directly affects my planned Visit to the state and felt on me as unfortunate unfolding.

@atemK93 Hmmm! No sense…it is subjective
