Terekeka County Free Medical Camp Highlights
About 3,000 patients in Terekeka County, Central Equatoria State, received medical treatment during a three-day free medical camp organized by the South Sudan Doctors’ Union.
The camp started on Friday and ended on Sunday, January 25, 2026, according to statements made at the closing event in Terekeka.
Specialist Doctors from Juba Offer Services
The outreach brought specialist doctors from Juba, including gynaecologists, general surgeons, orthopaedic specialists, internal medicine physicians, and dermatologists.
Organizers said the mix of specialties was intended to respond to a broad range of health needs in the community.
Doctors’ Union Says Target Was Met
Speaking at the close of the camp, South Sudan Doctors’ Union Chairperson Dr. Zachariah Ajak said the initiative had met its original objective, moving beyond 2,000 patients to nearly 3,000.
“We are happy to have completed the three days and helped the people of Terekeka,” Dr. Ajak said (Eye Radio).
He detailed daily turnout figures, saying 500 patients were seen on day one, 1,200 on day two, and 1,400 on day three, bringing the total to over 3,000 (Eye Radio).
Local Government Backs Rural Healthcare Access
Terekeka County Commissioner Dr. Emmanuel Lado commended the Doctors’ Union, describing the free services as timely and impactful for local residents.
“It has been three days and I am very grateful to the South Sudan Doctors’ Union for bringing these services to Terekeka,” Dr. Lado said (Eye Radio).
Dr. Lado added that local authorities aim to expand access to health services by localizing care, citing the establishment of a county hospital and further steps planned to complete it (Eye Radio).
Rural Health Services Remain a Central Focus
Local authorities said outreach initiatives like the camp can improve healthcare access in rural communities where medical services are limited.
