“Our people are suffering and that is why we have taken the bold decision to come and render them medical services here. There are critical tropical diseases here. And it is important as New Life Ministry to support them,” he narrated.

Atak appeals to residents who have not come to the center of the services to hurry up and reach the doctors who will go back in a week’s time.

One of the residents, Adut Garang said on phone Interview that their opportunity is a godsend one, saying it is a pleasure that the son of the area offered free services.
