The consultations include general surgeries for people who have suffered serious injury, mainly gunshot wounds.

AMREF country Director, George Bhoka says they are targeting up to three thousand cases.

George Bhoka: “We are forecasting that in the short and medium term we are likely to reach about 3,000 consultations. What we are basically doing is general surgery and orthopedic surgery. In general surgery we provide treatment for people that are injured in various hospitals, in orthopedic surgery we basically look at cases that are fractures e.g broken bones that need to be repaired. So what we basically do is to organize specialists from the East African region, working closely with specialists in Juba teaching hospital and Wau to screen the cases and operate them within the country.”
