New WHO Medicine Consignment Arrives in Juba

(JUBA ) – The Ministry of Health in South Sudan has received a large consignment of essential medicines from the World Health Organization, in a move aimed at strengthening healthcare delivery across the country.

The supplies were officially handed over and received at the Juba Teaching Hospital stores. The reception was led by the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Health, Dr Kennedy Gaaniko Baime, who represented the government during the handover.

Health officials said the medicines will help ensure that public health facilities remain stocked with life saving treatments. The supplies are expected to support hospitals and health centres that continue to face shortages due to high demand and limited resources.

The Ministry of Health described the delivery as a vital contribution to the national health system, especially at a time when many communities across South Sudan rely heavily on public health services for basic medical care.

Government representatives expressed appreciation to the World Health Organization for its continued support and cooperation. The Ministry said the partnership with WHO remains important in efforts to improve health outcomes and strengthen service delivery for the population.

The Ministry also reaffirmed its commitment to working with international partners to improve access to essential medicines and to support the functioning of health facilities across the country.
