The CCA would like to share some information below including literature, pictures, and videos that describe the health situation in Collo land. Since Sudan’s long decades of civil wars ended in 2005, the Collo Kingdom’s population has lacked access to essential health services, safe water, and sanitation. For example, nearly 75% of all children’s deaths in South Sudan are due to preventable conditions such as diarrhea, malaria, and pneumonia. This has led to the country’s high infant mortality rates, with 96 infant deaths per 1,000 births. It has been documented by many organizations that access and use of health services remain limited in South Sudan with less than 44% of the population in South Sudan living within reach of health facilities and having consistent access to primary care services. The most common known health problems in South Sudan for all age groups across states were found to be malaria, typhoid, and pneumonia, with respondents saying that a large portion of the population suffers from chronic cough and/or diarrhea. The CCA’S main focus is the vulnerable populations in the rural areas of the Collo Kingdom, where the community health workers can help provide healthcare services as well as link with health facilities in the areas with access to primary care services.
