Understanding the organization and delivery of health services following the repatriation of South Sudanese refugees from the West Nile districts in Uganda
Refugee repatriation disrupted health service delivery in the refugee hosting districts, leading to a reduction in funding; inadequate skilled health workers and equipment; and the closure of some facilities. To ensure the continuity of health services, government and aid agencies should plan for repatriation and establish strategies to sustain health services in refugee-hosting areas.
