World Health Organization (WHO) and South Sudan today
<"http://unmiss.unmissions.org/Default.aspx?tabid=3465&ctl=Details&mid=6047&ItemID=1434053&language=en-US">announced
they will carry out a vaccination campaign to address a meningitis
outbreak in the Upper Nile state that has killed three people.

The campaign will target 150,000 people out of 220,000 living in the
city of Malakal. The first case was reported by health officials on 12
April and the state ministry of health declared the outbreak on 30
April. Eighty-seven people are currently receiving treatment.

"Partners are boosting capacity at the Malakal hospital, including by
establishing an isolation ward, and are monitoring neighbouring
counties for an eventual further spread of the outbreak," the Office
for the Coordination of Humanitarians Affairs (OCHA) in South Sudan
said in a report.

WHO medical officer Tesfaye Zewde said the agency is supporting the
health ministry with testing and drugs. "WHO has supported the state
ministry of health in taking samples to Nairobi for testing," said Dr.
Zewde. "We are also helping in transporting the vaccines."

A community outreach campaign would also be implemented to increase
communities' awareness of meningitis and help identify new cases as
early as possible, OCHA said.May 9 2013 12:00PM
