Background

The primary health care programme, (PHC) was reactivated by the Operation Lifeline Sudan (OLS) in 1989, stopped in most areas on the eastern bank of the Nile, due to escalation of the War between the Sudan government and then SPLM/A that resulted in the early 1992 in the capture of the major towns of Torit, Bor, Kapoeta, Pibor, Yirol & Pachalla, by the Sudan Government forces. The operating NGOs in the area suddenly withdrew for security reasons a situation that left the area without any medical services. As a result many children and elderly people lost their lives due to communicable diseases, diarrhea, neonatal tetanus acute chest infections and malaria. The SMC came into being as a result of this vacuum created in 1992, when over ten thousand destitute children were suddenly abandoned in areas of Bor, Kapoeta, Torit and triple area of Aswa, Amee and Attepi due to Sudan Government forces attacks on the population. Since we have been working hard to continue supporting the People of South Sudan during the war and Peace.
