Feature: South Sudan family mightily relieved to get treatment from Chinese doctors


JUBA, Feb. 1 (Xinhua) -- The tenth batch of the Chinese medical team in South Sudan has helped put a smile on a family which had endured setbacks while in search of medical treatment for hitherto unknown medical conditions afflicting the head of the household.

Chaplain Juma Lubang, 62, developed a rare cancerous tumor known as seminoma on the left side of his testicles which had gone undetected for years despite several referrals to private and public hospitals in Juba, the capital of South Sudan. Seminoma is a slow-growing type of testicular cancer that primarily affects people in their 40s or 50s.
