Residents in Warrap State have called on the government and the partners to restock the health facilities with essential drugs.<\/p>\n

The concern came in after some of the health facilities in the area ran out of essential medicines, subjecting residents to suffering.<\/p>\n

According to some of the residents, essential medicines for treating common diseases such as malaria, typhoid, and diarrhea ran out of stock; hence, there is a need for intervention.<\/p>\n

In an interview, Twic resident Aluel Kodok Yak, a lactating mother who trekked to the Mayen-Abun health facility, expressed disappointment.<\/p>\n

She expressed that despite her hard work to reach the facility, there was no essential medicine at the health facility.<\/p>\n

Kodok said that the shortage of medicines at health facilities continues to affect the residents.<\/p>\n

She added that doctors continue to promise to ensure the facilities are restocked, but there are still no clear results.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am destitute and can\u2019t afford to get drugs as there is nothing I can do to sell out and get drugs. Since morning my child is suffering indeed\u201d she said<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the children who are sick suffer from convulsion and most of the medics here say they can\u2019t do anything\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n

This call comes amid the season that requires immediate medical attention from health experts whom they expect to come to their aid whenever the patients travel to the health centers for medical assistance but most end up in vain.<\/p>\n

Another patient who didn\u2019t want to be named for the fear of reprisal, blames the lack of essential drugs on malpractices of drugs selling, act that she puts on the medics.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a terrible situation as it is rainy season now. And what we need is to bring consignment and then the government can monitor them properly\u201d She charged.<\/p>\n

Mayen-Abun hospital clinical officer, Daniel Mathiang acknowledged the severity of the situations that the local populace is going through.<\/p>\n

Mathiang admits that seemingly they approximately see or diagnose nearly 300 people per day but they tell them to go to pharmacists instead if they turn lucky to get drugs being prescribed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndeed it is true we are negatively impacted by lack of drugs, we give what we afford like Paracetamol, since April the UN agencies like UNICEF and WHO and other organizations gave us consignments but they have run out\u201d He stated.<\/p>\n

Without much ado, the Twic county health director, urges local residents in greater Twic county to exercise perseverance or patience as their problems of lack of drugs are being looked into.<\/p>\n

Garang Chuol, the county health director, said that he would seek help from partners to do the needful.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that our people are suffering and all I want to tell our people is to seek drugs from the pharmacists by selling anything that is at your disposal.\u201d Said Chuol<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will give report to the state\u2019s health ministry so that the speed up to restock the health facilities with stocks and this needs patience and resilience\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Most of the health facilities not only in Twic county but in region are incapacitated as it is a rainy season.<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen how the local authorities on ground will respond to the urgent appeals of the destitute population.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
