Ten South Sudanese Medical Students Sponsored for Specialized Training in South Korea
Ten South Sudanese medical students have secured sponsorship for specialized medical training at Wonkwang University Hospital in South Korea through a partnership between ASK Foundation and the Lee Tae Seok Foundation.
According to the organizers, the program will equip the participants with advanced clinical skills, modern medical practices, hospital management experience, and exposure to contemporary healthcare technologies.
The initiative is aimed at strengthening professional capacity and improving healthcare service delivery in South Sudan.
The organizers noted that the students are expected to apply the knowledge and experience gained during the training to support the countryโs health sector upon their return.
The program also honors the legacy of the late Fr. John Lee Tae-seok, widely remembered for his humanitarian and medical contributions to South Sudan through healthcare and education initiatives.
Among the ten selected students are Dr. Manyuon Malith, Dr. Ruben Tinyjok, and Dr. Deng Mawut, all from the Luacjang community.
