Ministry of Health Staff Lead by Example in General Cleaning Campaign at Headquarters

<pre>
General Cleaning Campaign at Headquarters</pre>

<hr />
<p>In a general cleaning campaign, the leadership and staff of the Ministry of Health exchanged pens for cleaning tools, culminating in &ldquo;a major collective action&rdquo; this morning at JUBA &mdash; January 9, 2026.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Under the leadership of the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Health, Hon. Dr. Kennedy Ganiko Baima, the initiative works as a powerful reminder that public health starts with keeping everything clean.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<blockquote>
<p>&rdquo; Hon. Dr. Kennedy Ganiko Baima reminded that sanitation is not just an aesthetic issue, it is a cornerstone to prevention of disease during the exercise. His primary defense against common illnesses, such as malaria and cholera, is to maintain clean environments. &quot;A clean environment serves as an essential building block of any healthy nation. Starting from our headquarters, this is a standard for all government and the general public to strive toward,&quot; said Hon. Dr. Kennedy during the event.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>A number of core goals served as the basis of the campaign on creating a culture of health and accountability, including the following:</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Prevent Disease:</strong> Reducing breeding grounds for mosquitoes and bacteria.</p>

<p><strong>Environmental consciousness:</strong> Inspiring leadership in sanitation initiatives not just at all levels but all over the sector.</p>

<p><strong>Workplace Pride:</strong> Improving office decor for civil servants.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Members of the staff, various directorates, departments and specialized programs, participated enthusiastically. Some of the daytime&#39;s tasks involved litter collection, tidying office layouts and recycling to ensure a green work environment.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>The event had a remarkable sense of unity. By working side by side, ministry employees showed that reaching national health goals is a team sport and requires common goals.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>With the assistance of Hon. Sarah Cleto Rial, Minister of Health, the initiative reiterates the Ministry&rsquo;s unwavering commitment to providing a healthy and safe environment for all citizens of the Republic of South Sudan.</p>
