Citizens in Aweil town in South Sudan’s Aweil State are reporting difficulties getting medicines for their patients at the main hospital in the state, a local official said.
Speaking to Radio Tamazuj last week, Santino Mayuat Ngong, member of the state assembly, said that the people of Aweil town are facing challenges especially in the healthcare sector after the main health facility ran out of medicines.
“People are complaining about drugs. Actually, the drugs in the hospital are very limited, if you go to the doctor, the doctor will give you a prescription and you go to buy your own medicines. When you go to private pharmacies they will charge you money which you do not have,” said Manyuat.
The lawmaker pointed out that the medical aid charity MSF is supporting children and pregnant women only.
