Minister promised to cooperate with greater Jur River counties and other partners to support the plans of upgrading Mapel hospital.
‘The transfer of patients from Mapel to Wau has been one of the serious challenges facing people, since there are no hospital ambulances and the distance is too far’. He adds.
