Aweil West County CMO Visits Ayat Centre Health Facility
Aweil, Northern Bahr el Ghazal - The newly appointed County Medical Officer (CMO) of Aweil West, Mr. Paulino Alich Wol Wol, together with Nurse Officer Santino Thiep Lual and Medical Officer Santino Atak Akuoch, on Thursday paid an official visit to Mayom Akuakrel Primary Health Care Centre (PHCC) in Ayat Centre Payam.
The visit aimed to assess the quality of health services delivered to patients and identify challenges facing the facility. The CMO also inspected the ongoing construction of a maternity block, a community-led initiative launched earlier in 2025.
The project is being funded by the Ayat Development Foundation (ADF), supported by Ayat Centre community members both within South Sudan and abroad.
During the visit, Mr. Alich commended the community for their remarkable contribution to improving healthcare in the area. He used the analogy of “three stones” to emphasize the importance of collaboration, saying that a pot cannot stand on one stone - it needs three: the community, the government, and NGOs - to ensure stability and progress.
Speaking to the media, Mr. James Dut Deng Gar, popularly known as Dudu Rain Ghar, the facility in-charge, appreciated the visit and reaffirmed the commitment of staff to providing quality health services.
