RWANDAN PEACEKEEPERS PROVIDE FREE MEDICAL SERVICES TO RESIDENTS OF RULI SOMBA IN SOUTH SUDAN
Rwandan peacekeepers (RWANBATT-3), in collaboration with RWANBATT-1 and the Society for Family Health (SFH), provided free medical services to 390 residents at Ruli Somba Primary Health Care Centre.The initiative primarily targeted vulnerable groups, with 241 women, 64 men, and 85 children receiving treatment for various health conditions.
Services provided included general medical consultations, dental care, maternal healthcare support for pregnant women, and treatment of common illnesses.
Mr. Mathieu Lobiri Lawrence, Deputy Director of Primary Health Care Services in Central Equatoria State, commended the initiative, noting its significant impact on communities with limited access to healthcare services.
Speaking during the outreach, Colonel Innocent Rwaka Muhirwe, Contingent Commander of RWANABATT-3, emphasized that while the battalion’s primary mandate is the protection of civilians, it remains committed to supporting the welfare of local communities.
He noted that while providing security for the 152-kilometre road rehabilitation project connecting Ruli and Mundri, the contingent identified critical healthcare challenges affecting local residents. This prompted the organization of the medical outreach to improve access to essential health services.
