The Commissioner of Pochalla North County in South Sudan’s Boma State Ogebe Omot Ochan has complained about lack of basic services in his county, especially healthcare centres.
Speaking to Radio Tamazuj today, Commissioner Ogebe said that the county is also facing acute shortage of malaria medicines and other drugs to treat eye diseases in the area.
The local official pointed out that the International Medical Corps organization that was operating the hospital left the area. Okedi pointed to lack of medicines for HIV/AIDS, saying its prevalence is very high in Pochalla North County.
Correction: The commissioner was initially incorrectly named as Okedi Omot. This has been corrected.
