The governor of South Sudan’s Kapoeta State, Louis Lobong Lojore, said a national health committee is expected to arrive in Kapoeta next week to facilitate the compensation process for families whose children died during a botched measles vaccination campaign in Kapoeta.
The families of the 16 children who died in botched measles vaccination campaign in June due to poor vaccine storage have been calling on the government to compensate them.
Governor Lobong told Radio Tamazuj on Wednesday that the compensation process will start once the committee arrives in Kapoeta.
