As South Sudan marked World Cancer Day, the World Health Organization warns that cancer is an increasing public health threat, with many cases linked to preventable risk factors such as tobacco use, poor diet and infections. WHO’s Dr Moses Mutebi stresses the importance of prevention, early screening and building national capacity for diagnosis and treatment. Civil society activist Edmund Yakani adds that stronger investment in health, particularly cancer care, is critical to reduce costly referrals abroad and protect vulnerable communities.
