Summary
Although there is currently no Ebola outbreak in South Sudan, concerns remain high as neighbouring countries continue to report cases, prompting health authorities and partners to step up preparedness efforts. In this programme, we explore what Ebola is, how it spreads, the symptoms communities should be aware of, and the measures individuals can take to protect themselves. The discussion also addresses common misconceptions surrounding the disease and highlights the steps being taken by the government and its partners to ensure a rapid response in case of an outbreak. Joining the conversation are Dr. Onyango Okech from the World Health Organization and Nyok Daniel from the National Ministry of Health, who share insights on the country’s readiness and ongoing prevention efforts.
