From 2006 to 2012, the South Sudan Guinea Worm Eradication Program reduced new Guinea worm disease (dracunculiasis) cases by over 90%, despite substantial programmatic challenges. Program logistics have played a key role in program achievements to date. The program uses disease surveillance and program performance data and integrated technical-logistical staffing to maintain flexible and effective logistical support for active community-based surveillance and intervention delivery in thousands of remote communities. Lessons learned from logistical design and management can resonate across similar complex surveillance and public health intervention delivery programs, such as mass drug administration for the control of neglected tropical diseases and other disease eradication programs. Logistical challenges in various public health scenarios and the pivotal contribution of logistics to Guinea worm case reductions in South Sudan underscore the need for additional inquiry into the role of logistics in public health programming in low-income countries.
从 2006 年到 2012 年，南苏丹麦地那龙线虫病根除规划在面临巨大计划挑战的情况下，将新发现的麦地那龙线虫病（麦地那龙线虫病）病例减少了 90%以上。项目物流在迄今为止的项目成果中发挥了关键作用。该规划利用疾病监测和规划执行情况数据以及综合技术后勤人员，为数千个偏远社区的积极社区为基础的监测和干预措施提供灵活有效的后勤支持。从后勤设计和管理中吸取的经验教训，可以在类似的复杂监测和公共卫生干预措施中产生共鸣，例如控制被忽视的热带病和其他消灭疾病规划的大规模药物治疗。各种公共卫生情况下的后勤挑战以及后勤对南苏丹麦地那龙线虫病病例减少的关键贡献，突出表明需要进一步探讨后勤在低收入国家公共卫生规划中的作用。
