Health Services for Refugee and Host Communities

We conducted the study in three west Nile refugee hosting districts of Adjumani, Moyo and Arua. Data were collected between December – February 2017. The three districts are largely rural with a combined population of 2,390,899 people. The districts have experienced two major refugee influxes from South Sudan. The first influx occurring during 1983-1995 and most recently from 2014 to date. Health services for refugee and host communities in the three districts are provided by a mixture of public and Private-Not-For Profit providers. First, the public health system is managed and coordinated by the District Health Team through a network of tiered health facilities. Through the second, health services for refugees have been funded by the UNHCR and provided by a network of health facilities managed by implementing partners.
