Spread of diseases causes desperate conditions in Gbudue State

YAMBIO (8 Feb.)

Health officials in South Sudan’s Gbudue State reported that citizens are
living in desperate conditions due to an outbreak of diseases amid
shortages of medicines.

Lino Utu, Gbudue Minister of Health, told Radio Tamazuj yesterday that the
state is witnessing spread of malaria, typhoid and hepatitis diseases among
local residents in Yambio amid shortages of medicines in various health
facilities.“No medicines in the hospital and people are sick. They come
from Yambio and the surrounding areas, but what we are getting from Juba is
not enough. I am telling you the fact, the last thing we got was a shipment
of medicines enough for three month only,” said Utu.

The local official further said more than 200 patients suffering from
hepatitis are not getting medicines at Yambio Civil Hospital. He called on
humanitarian organizations to look into the matter and provide medicines to
the needy people.“I want to appeal to the national ministry of health to
bring enough medicines to the people of Yambio that can be stored,” he
said.
