Jeden Tag ist der Andrang in der Klinik in Rumbek groß. Mütter, die mit ihren Kindern oft stundenlange Fußmärsche hinter sich haben, warten geduldig.

Hope in Rumbek

Medical care in South Sudan is inadequate in many areas. For the people in Rumbek, the local health facility has therefore been a vital point of contact for many years. Here, the poorest people receive care and competent treatment in case of illness, hunger or pregnancy. Run by Sign of Hope itself from 2012, the clinic has been managed by the diocese of Rumbek since the beginning of 2017.

Activities

This is what the clinic does for the people:

  • Outpatient care and drug treatment of common diseases
  • Nutrition program for malnourished children (in cooperation with the Missionaries of Charity)
  • Pregnancy care and deliveries
  • Vaccinations for women and children
  • Counseling and preventive health education
  • Delivery of food and supplies

Sign of Hope supported the work of the Diocese of Rumbek in 2017 and 2018 with the delivery of food, supplies, medicines and with subsidies for wages. Since then, the Missionaries of Charity - especially for their feeding program, have been regularly provided with essential food and supplies for their service to the poorest.

In the spring of 2020, Sign of Hope also supported the Diocese of Rumbek in its efforts to combat the coronavirus with - for example, soap, protective equipment for helpers, hand-washing stations, and even wage boosters to help further the treatment and education of patients.
