Healthcare Foundation Organization (HFO) HealthCare Foundation was established in 2014 and registered in 2015 with Relief Rehabilitation Commission (RRC) Republic of South Sudan as a non-governmental, nonprofit National Organization (NNGO) for charitable and humanitarian purposes, including promoting public awareness of healthcare issues, to promote public health and education of medical knowledge. Our aim is to improve and advance healthcare in South Sudan and it regions to be able to see a healthier population especially children and mothers, supported by high quality of health care that can be equitably accessed by all people. We learn what works to make people’s lives healthier and improve the health care system.
From giving grants to those working at the front line to carrying out essential health service delivery, research and policy analysis, we shine a light on how to make successful change happen for the future of children and mothers in the community. We make links between the knowledge we gain from working with those delivering health care and our research analysis with our donors. Our aspiration is to create a virtuous circle, using what we know works on the ground to inform effective policy making and health accessibility to vulnerable people. We believe good health and health care is a key to a flourishing society. Through sharing what we learn, collaborating with others and building people’s skills and knowledge, we aim to make a difference and contribute to a healthier population.
