UNMISS Volunteers hand over lacking supplies to main hospital in Bor

Food, protective equipment, cleaning products and even beds were among the many useful things gratefully received by Bor State Hospital after United Nations Volunteers serving with the peacekeeping mission in South Sudan acted together to collect the items.

You could say that peace begins with healthcare. This is our way of supporting the ongoing peace efforts in the country, hoping that the handing over of all of this will lead to the people of Jonglei getting improved access to basic medical care. --Maria Guadalupe, one of the peacekeepers, on behalf of all volunteers involved in the generous initiative

Doctor Ajak Garang affirmed that the unexpected assistance will make the intended difference, not least the extra beds.
