Renk Civil Hospital in Northern Upper Nile State has run out of medicines for treating various diseases, according to a government official.
Speaking to Radio Tamazuj on Tuesday, Health Minister in Northern Upper Nile, Paulino Awana said the shortage of drugs and lack of medical personnel is a drawback in their efforts to prevent cholera that has already claimed lives in neighbouring states of Sudan in Joda and Jebellen.
Awana revealed that a committee has been formed to be on the lookout for any cholera cases in the area.
