| Title | The impacts of health Innovative technologies on health outcomes |
| Summary | South Sudan like many other sub Saharan African countries has poor health system especially those managed by the government. The country did not inherit many improved health facilities and equipment at the time of its session from The Sudan. Majority of health facilities are dilapidated and large section of the population mainly in the rural areas luck health services. The ministry of health is usually allocated with small budget which limits its functionality in the country sides where the majority of the people are located since more than 80 per cent South Sudanese live in rural areas. However, with the help of development partners, many health facilities have been rehabilitated and some equipped with medical devices that help save lives. Knowing that change is imminent in delivering healthcare, in my thesis, I plan to find out how South Sudan could benefit from the wave of health innovative technologies in reducing maternal and neonatal mortality as key health outcomes in the country. I would be looking at the impacts and performance of health services in the country as a result technology. Looking at clinical informatics, I would also examine how information system has improved as a result of technology. From economic point of view, I would find out the expenses and cost associated with these improved health tools/ apps used at various locations. I would be looking at the modern tools or apps that are used in the country and also compare the gaps between private and public health services. |
