## Resource

The South Sudan Alliance says Non-communicable diseases account for a substantial fraction of deaths in South Sudan, with hypertension and diabetes among the leading causes. In this interview, the Capacity Development Director of the South Sudan NCD Alliance, Stephen Khamis unpacks key risk factors, including poor diet, stress, alcohol use, and limited exercise. With treatment costly and access uneven, the emphasis is on prevention, early screening, and awareness, as new partnerships and university-based initiatives work to strengthen the national response.
