This annual report presents a year of coordinated action and measurable progress by WHO South Sudan in a complex and evolving operating environment. Organized by quarter and cluster, it shows how strategic priorities were translated into results, responding to immediate public health risks while strengthening the foundations of a resilient, people-centered health system. 

The report highlights key achievements across 2025, combining programme milestones with their real-world impact for communities. The year began by laying the groundwork for rapid, integrated, and high-impact action through strengthened coordination, readiness, and systems for an effective response. As multiple public health emergencies unfolded, the focus shifted to expanding coverage of essential health services while sustaining lifesaving interventions. 

This approach supported timely outbreak detection and containment, while maintaining continued investment in a sustainable, fit-for-purpose health system. By year’s end, WHO and partners concentrated on consolidating gains, reinforcing resilience, advancing universal health coverage, strengthening health security, and supporting lasting improvements in the health and wellbeing of communities across South Sudan. 

Looking ahead, WHO South Sudan remains committed to applying the lessons of 2025 to accelerate progress, advance health equity, and ensure that every community can access essential, life-saving health services.
