This study aimed to examine the perceptions of hospital personnel on the need to enter into public-private partnerships in Juba Teaching Hospital, South Sudan.

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 was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics in the SPSS computer package.

The majority 63(64.3%) of the respondents were in agreement that PPP provides a continued or improved level of service at reduced costs, 76(78.3%) of the respondents agreed that PPP increases competition, efficiency in service provision, expands coverage, and reduce delivery costs and 73(75.3%) of the total respondents were in agreement that Juba teaching hospital needs PPP for effective health service delivery.

To improve the quality of health services in public hospitals, the public-private partnership approach should be applied to a wide range of healthcare system needs: construction of facilities, provision of medical equipment or supplies, or delivery of healthcare services across the spectrum of care.
