By Jessry Pasquali Oboya The internship year is an important formative year which may present some unique challenges to doctors. Thus, for a junior doctor to achieve effective training, good quality supervisors and adequate opportunities for experimental learning are a prerequisite. Also, conductive environment, personal attributes and good support systems are essential. Studies have been conducted in several countries, including middle and low income countries, to understand the challenges facing medical practitioners, the stress they encounter and its effect on their performance and commitment. Several factors were identified as major causes of stress among the house officers.

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 […]

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: […]

It set a 2% share of oil revenue should go to producing states in proportion to their out put while 3% to the local communities. The local communities benefit from oil-revenue given through local government and from development projects offered bythe oil companies operating in the area. The Transitional […]

An opportunity to address the complex web of conflicts afflicting South Sudan By Dr Francis M. 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. The National Dialogue is an opportunity to address the complex web of conflicts afflicting South Sudan through a top-down-bottom-up process that links the national, regional, and the grassroots levels of the interconnected conflicts. Achieving the National Dialogue’s goal requires reinforcing and strengthening traditional authorities whose ability to contribute to the maintenance of law and order and to the security and stability of the country at the grassroots level, has long been tested.The Dialogue’s Steering Committee needs to be assisted by resource persons to carry out consultations with stakeholders at these levels and to report to the National Conference which will then prepare an integrated […]

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. While welcoming the UN-backed food security report, he said: “There is every reason to celebrate humanitarian efforts that have led to a reduction in the number of people living in famine conditions in South Sudan, the country is […]

More than 6 million people now facing hunger driven largely by conflict By Daniel Deng Bol According to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) update by the government, the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization, UN children’s fund, the World Food Programme, and other humanitarian partners, the accepted technical definition of famine no longer applies in former Unity State’s Leer and Mayandit counties where famine was declared in February. In two other counties deemed high risk in February – Koch and Panyijiar – immediate and sustained humanitarian assistance most likely played a significant role in preventing further deterioration into famine. Famine has eased in South Sudan after a significant scale up in the humanitarian response, according to new analysis released today. However, the situation remains dire across the country as the number of people struggling to find enough food each day has grown to 6 million – up from 4.9 […]
