Headline
Guinea worm eradication campaign in South Sudan - 2013
Description
This collection of photos from 2013 traces the concerted efforts to eradicate Guinea worm disease in South Sudan. To run surveillance activities and reach remote communities in one of the world's newest nations, WHO coordinated closely with the country’s Ministry of Health and external partners, such as the Carter Center.
These images bring to life the practical dimensions of Guinea worm disease prevention and control, ranging from barely-drivable roads to the water buckets used by patients to stop the cycle of infection. The smiles of recovering victims and flourishing fields of crops are a keen reminder of the direct health improvements and indirect socio-economic impacts brought by this program in the region.
-
Guinea Worm Disease significantly impacts rural communities in South Sudan, who rely on natural sources for drinking water. Transmission of this disease occurs once a person drinks stagnant water containing copepods that carry the infective larvae. The disability associated with the disease in turn affects agricultural productivity and the subsistence of affected communities.
-
