HEALTH
ISSUES
Several health issues continue to plague southern
Sudan especially as more and more of the former refugees and displaced
persons return to their home areas. The health issues affecting
the 10 states arise from the prevalence of diseases and outbreaks
that occur during the seasonal changes. Every state combats health
of concerns of varying nature. However, many have a common illness
such as malaria due to the terrain of the region.
