The Catholic Church is working on reopening its health
training institute at Wau in South Sudan.
On Saturday, the president of the Sudan Catholic Bishops
Conference, Bishop Rudolph Deng, and the Auxiliary Bishop of Khartoum, Daniel
Adwok, agreed with the Minister of Presidential Affairs in South Sudan, Dr. Luka
Biong Deng, to outline procedures for training facilities at Wau Health Training
Institute.
Assessments have already been carried out regarding
renovation and operation of the institute, Catholic Bakhita Radio in juba
reported. The two bishops visited Juba to discuss with the region's Ministry of
Health possibilities of reopening the school to provide services to the Sudanese
people.
About 60 religious congregations have pledged support and
are ready to collaborate in the renewal of the Wau Health Training Institute to
answer the pressing health needs in Southern Sudan.
For many years, the institute prepared Sudanese health
professionals in the fields of curative and preventive medicine until the civil
war forced it to close down.
