Guinea worm is still common in some parts of South Sudan including Eastern Equatoria, Warrap and Lakes States.
The Eastern Equatoria Counties of Kapoeta North, Kapoeta South Jie, and Kapoeta East are affected by the disease.
A Guinea worm eradication review meeting started on Wednesday to discuss the progress, challenges and way forward in eliminating the disease.
The national Ministry of Health in collaboration with UNICEF, WHO, Carter Center and other partners will conduct the two-day meeting.
The South Sudan Guinea Worm Eradication Program made a great step in reducing the disease since the independence.
