Sezessionskrieg im Südsudan
Following the First Sudanese Civil War (1955-1972), Father Hubert Barbier, a French White Father built a medical center in Wau with the support of local clergy. The goal of the center was to assist in reconstructing the area, put medical infrastructure into place and make possible the training of nurses and doctors. The Second Sudanese Civil War (1983-2005) made the infrastructure unusable; however it reopened in February 2010 under the name Catholic Health Training Institute (CHTI).
