BBC Media Action programs address health issues in South Sudan.

BBC Media Action website: "Our Tukul is a radio programme addressing reproductive, maternal, neonatal and child health in the world’s newest country, South Sudan. It packages interviews, opinion and expert advice from around the country into an entertaining and interactive radio magazine programme. A tukul in South Sudan is a traditional circular mud dwelling with a thatched roof – the kind of home that is recognisable across the country. Our Tukul is produced by BBC Media Action’s South Sudanese team in English and Simple/Juba Arabic. Partner radio stations from the Catholic Radio Network are trained to conduct field interviews and feed these back into the programme. The programme is being broadcast nationally in all 10 states in South Sudan. ... In April 2013, a companion radio drama, Life in Lulu, will take the audience to Lulu, a fictional village where residents deal with the same health challenges that face people all around the country. ... Our Tukul and Life in Lulu are made with funding from the UK Department for International Development and supported by the Ministry of Health, South Sudan."
