"The Care My Patients Need": Local Health Workers Driving Change in South Sudan

In South Sudan, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) serves some 1.5 million people who would otherwise have very little access to quality health care. But a lack of trained medical professionals and basic diagnostic tools complicates matters.

STONE GRANT - Samuel is one of eight South Sudanese recipients of the grant this year.

Samuel Abuvu Paul, 24, has worked as a guard – with MSF in Mundri, South Sudan since May 2017. Like many of the places MSF works in South Sudan, young, bright, dedicated students in Mundri have had to flee armed-conflict to save their lives, thereby losing opportunities to continue their schooling. To address such issues and increase the capacity of our South Sudanese colleagues, MSF started the STONE and Study grants. Samuel is one of eight South Sudanese recipients of the grant this year. The scholarship will allow him to study engineering at the International University of East Africa, in Uganda.

DR Congo: extra humanitarian assistance highly needed in southern North Kivu crisis

  • Far from the cameras, a humanitarian crisis is affecting the southern part of DRC’s North Kivu province, with almost no aid organisations on the ground.
  • In the territories of Masisi, Rutshuru and Walikale, more than 687,500 displaced people now live in camps or are hosted by local families, with worrying levels of malnutrition and sexual violence.
  • Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is one of the last organisations providing emergency support in these territories. Faced with increasing medical and non-medical needs, MSF is calling on humanitarian organisations and donors to urgently return to this neglected area.
