Stress Endured by Unpaid Doctors: A Case at Juba Teaching Hospital (Part 1)

By Jessry Pasquali Oboya Entry into medical school has always been very competitive and stressful. Besides, completing studies and beginning clinical practice is much more stressful than all previous years of studies. The prospect of commencing any new career is even more stressful and daunting. What is rather appalling is that medical education becomes more challenging as one goes higher. This is especially so in medicine where delicate human life is laid bare at stake. Yet the practice has no room for mistakes or negligence. To that effect, a period of supervised training known as ‘internship’ or ‘housemanship’, where the new young doctors undergo a structured training to enable them consolidate and extend theoretical clinical knowledge and technical skills, is provided for. It is akin to testing soldiers in series of battles after a military drill. A house officer, also known as a houseman, is a term used to refer […]

Striving For Legacy: The End We Must Have in View

Letter from A Brother Abroad Dear Countrymen, I am aware that we can vividly remember that our journey to this end has neither been smooth nor straight, a path full of rocks and thorns. But through endurance and self-neglect we have made it this far. It hasn’t been an easy path for the weak and faint-hearted folks, but the bold and determined. For a period of decades, our country has been marred in wars, the most notable this time among ourselves. I don’t need to mention this point because we all know it already. The critical question we need to ask ourselves at this point in history, at this moment of tough times, at a time when we are up against one another, a brother against a brother and a sister against a sister, a time of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, is this: […]

Millions of Children Caught in Conflict, Victims and Targets of Despicable Harm

Annual Report of the Secretary-General on Children and Armed Conflict (New York, 5 October 2017)Boys and girls living in countries affected by armed conflict have been victims of widespread violations in 2016, as documented in the Secretary-General’s Annual Report on Children and Armed Conflict released today and covering the period from January to December 2016. The alarming scale and severity of violations against children in 2016 – including shocking levels of killing and maiming, recruitment and use and denial of humanitarian access – is a serious concern for the Secretary-General. “The tragic fate of child victims of conflict cannot and must not leave us unmoved; a child killed, recruited as a soldier, injured in an attack or prevented from going school due to a conflict is already one too many,” the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, Ms. Virginia Gamba, said. Children from countries such as […]

Deng (July 5, 2017) This concept paper outlines some of the principal eleme nts involved in promoting peace, unity, reconciliation and a shared sense of national identity, the overriding goals of the National Dialogue.

Plan International Director of International Programmes, Mr. Jonathan Mitchell, during a press briefing in Juba

By Daniel Deng Bol Plan International has said the humanitarian needs in South Sudan have remained extremely higher despite recent findings of the Integrated Phase Classification (IPC) data which highlight that early warning and the mobilization of a large-scale, multi-sectoral humanitarian response have eased famine in some part of the country. Addressing journalists Monday in Juba during a press conference, Plan International Director of International Programmes, Mr. Jonathan Mitchell, urged the international community and humanitarian actors not to sit back as the number of people who are food insecure have risen from 5.5 million to 6 million, 45,000 people are still experiencing localized famine conditions, and 1.7 million others are one-step below famine.
