They team assured the public that the county administration will fully support the initiative.
Rep. Wuo called for an urgent need for a clinic in the area with over 2,000 inhabitants.
“Our people have long suffered, due to lacked of basic healthcare to the extent that the sick ones often walked long distances to access medical services.”
