Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Health authorities in Baliet County of Upper Nile state have received a consignment of life-saving drugs weeks after the county witnessed a surge in waterborne diseases due to flooding amid poor healthcare services.<\/p>\n

The consignment was delivered by the Ngok-Lual Yak community in Juba last Thursday. Speaking to Radio Tamazuj, county health director Peter Atiep, applauded the donation saying it will help cater for the county residents until early next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe life-saving medicines were donated by sons and daughters of this county in Juba after our outcry. They include malaria drugs, injectable antibiotics, and syrups. This quantity is enough for two months,\u201d Atiep said.<\/p>\n

He said the drugs will be distributed across all the PHCUs in the county. Samuel Yak Monyjok, a local administrator said the drugs will boost access to health services and avert a looming health crisis in the county.<\/p>\n

For his part, Chol Kun Chol, the community\u2019s gender welfare secretary, said the intervention is aimed at rescuing those stranded in floodwaters amid drug shortages.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe came here because the area has been affected by floods which have led to water-borne diseases. This is why we brought drugs to treat water-borne diseases like anti-malarial drugs and antibiotics,\u201d Chol said.<\/p>\n
