Introduction
During this reporting period, South Sudan continued to operate under sustained public health emergency pressure. Multiple outbreaks and other priority public health events remained under active surveillance. Recurrent disease outbreaks, climate-related shocks, displacement, and access constraints continued to strain response operations and health system capacity.
Despite these challenges, steady progress was recorded across preparedness, surveillance, coordination, and response activities, supported by partner collaboration and delivery of critical public health interventions. Operational constraints, resource gaps, and evolving emergency risks remain key concerns requiring sustained attention.
