About
What should people in South Sudan know about sleeping sickness? This programme brings together the Ministry of Health and WHO to explain how the disease spreads, who faces the greatest risk and which symptoms require attention. The discussion covers available treatment and where patients can seek care, alongside practical ways to prevent infection. Edward Losio, Sleeping Sickness Focal Point from the Ministry of Health and Pita Jane Hillary, Technical Officer (Neglected Tropical Diseases) at the WHO, also discuss community involvement and how the ministry and its partners are working to address sleeping sickness and help people recognise the disease and seek treatment.
