Background:
Like any other PNFP hospital in South Sudan, the level of financial and human resource support and the extent to which such support has impacted on Juba teaching hospital‘s efficiency in delivery of health services to the community remains not well understood. This study is intended to assess the effect of the financial and human resources support through PPP on the delivery of health services in South Sudan using Juba teaching hospital as a case study.
Methodology:
The research design used was a descriptive cross-sectional study. A sample of 97 respondents in Juba teaching hospital was used. The methodology used in this study was quantitative. The questionnaire, interview, and documentary review were the major tools of data collection. Data collected from the field were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics in the SPSS computer package.
Results:
22(22.7%) of the respondents were from the administration department, and 55(56.7%) of them had worked for between 1 and 5 years. 71(73.2%) of the respondents were in agreement that Juba teaching hospital has effective financial policies and procedures, 80(82.4%) of the respondents generally agreed finance and human resource departments have knowledgeable and experienced staff to ensure effective health service delivery in Juba teaching hospital and 55(56.7%) of the respondents agreed that human resource in Juba teaching hospital improves the quality of services and patient’s satisfaction.
