There is a need to double efforts towards eradicating guinea worm by next year, Undersecretary in the Ministry of Health urges.
Dr Makur Matur Kariom believes it is the most difficult moment to fight guinea worm although progress is made to contain every case.
Eradication of guinea worm disease requires sacrifice, says Dr Martin Elia Lomurö Cabinet Affairs Minister.
Use of contaminated water sources, especially in guinea affected areas is one of the challenges affecting the fight, says Lillian Okwiri, UNICEF representative.
A guinea worm eradication review meeting started on Wednesday discussing progress, challenges and way forward in eliminating the disease.
