South Sudan’s mental health services face funding crisis
Manage episode 499641729 series 2426270
Authorities in South Sudan are sounding the alarm over the country's mental health crisis. Just last month, 12 suicides were reported in Juba in a single week. Clinics offering mental health support are scarce – and many are at risk of shutting down. In 2022, eight centres were opened across the country with the goal of serving over 20,000 people for the first time. However, with funding from Italy and Greece set to expire, their future remains uncertain.
