Christians on Monday held prayers for the sick and suffering people at Saint Bakhita Health Centre in Yei.
The prayer that started with Eucharistic celebrations coincided with the feast of St Josephine Bakhita, Radio Easter reports.
Fr Emmanuel Lodongo encourages health personnel to serve sick people in faith like St Bakhita.
Be patient and hopeful in all difficult situations, he urges Christians.
Prayers strengthen people in working for the good of the sick, says Medical Doctor, Sr Veronica Rackova.
She also appeals to health workers in South Sudan to endure working for the citizens.
