South Sudan’s cabinet affairs minister, Dr. Martin Elia Lomuro, has admitted that the health care system in the country has been neglected, saying this has been exposed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The country is currently battling the coronavirus pandemic and new cases of polio recorded recently in Warrap, Western Bahr el Ghazal, Northern Bahr el Ghazal, and Lakes states.
The country is also prone to diseases, with meningitis, measles, yellow fever, and whooping cough endemic for many areas.
