Sixty-four healthcare workers have graduated in Malakal Town, Upper Nile State after completing a nearly two-year training by the Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).

The graduates underwent an 18-month training in Basic Clinical Nursing Care to enhance their skills to better serve patients.

The graduates had already worked in various capacities at MSF medical facilities in Malakal Town and the Protection of Civilians Camp (PoC).

According to MSF, it designed a competency-based curriculum tailored to improve the capacity of the existing workforce and the overall quality of healthcare services they have been doing in the area.

26-year-old Angelina Achol is amongst the graduates.

In a voice clip shared with Eye Radio’s newsroom, she said the training has built her up, and given her the confidence to express, present, and perform her duties with courage.

” This opportunity has built me up, giving me confidence in myself and the ability to express, present, and perform my work with courage like I’ve never had before, “she said.

Meanwhile, the Country Representative for the MSF Academy in South Sudan, Serviour Dombojena is confident the graduates will improve medical care to the patients in Malakal.

“Having gone through the training, we have confidence in these healthcare workers to provide an improved quality of medical care to the patients in Malakal and other parts of South Sudan,

“The success of these training initiatives not only uplifts the skills of their graduates but also contributes to improved patient care in the facilities,” she added.

The graduates are the second group to be trained this year.

In March, a group of 88 learners completed the same curriculum in Lankien of Jonglei State.
