The Aweil State Ministry of Health has unreliable emergency services because it has grounded ambulances due to lack of budget to repair them.
Aweil Minister of Health James Mayol told Radio Tamazuj on Thursday that their ambulances are not functional and that they could not repair those vehicles due to lack of money.
He further said emergency cases and victims of accidents usually face difficulties to reach the hospitals across the state, saying this has led to patients requiring emergency services suffering long delays.
He appealed to the national government in Juba and humanitarian organizations to assist the people of Aweil State.
