2008: Assessing the clinic
JumpStart Sudan sent Chris Garang, JSS Arizona Representative
and nursing student, back to Akon in January 2008 to work in
the clinic for two months. Chris raised funds for JSS in
Tucson, AZ and was able to take medicine and small coolers to store
vaccines.
JSS
President Debra Ross visited Akon and the clinic in March to examine
the final structure, assess the needs of the health care workers and
determine how JSS can help the clinic grow in its capacity to aid
the community.
The Ministry of Health of Southern Sudan expressed an interest in
expanding the clinic from a Primary Health Care Unit to an 18-bed
hospital with help from JumpStart Sudan. JSS is exploring the
feasibility of this proposal while focusing on finding health care
professionals to work in the clinic, finishing the plumbing and
electrical components of the clinic, and continuing to support the
clinic with shipments of medicine, medical supplies and equipment.
A container filled with exam tables, office furniture, medicine and
supplies, etc. arrived at the clinic in October. |
