Abstract

Introduction: South Sudan has higher rates of under-five morbidity and mortality compared to other countries in the African region. Diarrhea is one of the major causes of death among children under five, both globally and in South Sudan. One of the main factors contributing to diarrheal infections, especially among young children, is the source of drinking water. This paper aims to establish the effect of drinking water sources on diarrheal morbidities among children under five in South Sudan.
