Torit State Hospital Bolsters Diagnostic Capacity with New Laboratory Equipment from UNDP

---

TORIT, South Sudan – In a significant move to enhance healthcare delivery in Eastern Equatoria State, Torit State Hospital has officially received a state-of-the-art Haematology Analyser and Chemistry Analyser, generously provided by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

 

The handover of this advanced diagnostic equipment marks a milestone in the Ministry of Health’s ongoing mission to modernize medical facilities across the country and ensure that citizens have access to reliable laboratory services.

 

The addition of these analysers is set to transform the diagnostic landscape at Torit State Hospital. Previously, complex blood chemistry and haematological tests often required long wait times or external referrals. With this new technology, the hospital will achieve:

• Improved Accuracy: High-precision automated testing reduces human error in lab results.
• Faster Turnaround Times: Patients will receive their diagnoses and treatment plans much quicker.
• Expanded Testing Capacity: The hospital can now perform a wider range of investigations, including full blood counts and comprehensive metabolic panels.

 

The Ministry of Health, in coordination with its international partners, remains dedicated to the "Health Sector Transformation Plan." This latest support from UNDP highlights the power of partnership in addressing critical gaps in the national health infrastructure.

 

"This vital support aims to strengthen laboratory capacity and improve diagnostic services for our patients. The equipment will enhance the quality, accuracy, and timeliness of lab investigations, ultimately boosting health service delivery."

 

The Ministry of Health extends its heartfelt gratitude to the UNDP for their continued support and unwavering partnership. We also commend the local coordination teams whose commitment ensures that such life-saving technology reaches the communities that need it most.

 

Torit State Hospital remains steadfast in its dedication to providing quality, reliable healthcare, ensuring that no patient is left behind due to a lack of diagnostic resources.
