The ministry of interior has cancelled the recent order issued by health minister Riek Gai and reinstated the use of a ‘Police Investigation Form 8’ before administering treatment of emergency cases in hospitals and private clinics.

“Form 8 is one of the evidence that is required by law during investigations. As the minister after consultations with the department of justice, I hereby nullify the order of the former IGP and reinstate the use of Form 8 as mandatory,” interior minister, Michael Chiangjiek told reporters in Juba today.

He pointed out that Form 8 is very important during investigations. “Form 8 is crucial and must be used today onwards,” he said.

Last week, South Sudan's health ministry Riek Gai Kok cancelled the use of Form 8 saying treatment of emergency cases was a challenge in the country.
