Baby Yang, who’s just one year old, was treated for life-threatening malaria in an IRC health center in Malualbai, Northern Bahr El-Ghazal. Just 24 hours after he started treatment, he’s showing great signs of recovery much to his mother’s delight. In coordination with the Ministry of Health, the IRC runs 2 primary healthcare centers and 12 smaller primary healthcare units in Northern Bahr El-Ghazal, bringing essential healthcare to more than 224,000 people. We train and employ essential health staff and supply medical equipment and drugs to all 14 facilities.

The Comprehensive Peace Agreement delivered peace to Southern Sudan in 2005 after 21 years of civil war. Today, the government faces the uphill struggle of rebuilding essential services such as healthcare, education and water after two decades of disruption and violence. The International Rescue Committee works in 11 counties in 5 districts of Southern Sudan, supporting the government to provide such services to thousands of returned refugees, formerly displaced people, as well as the host community.
