Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan\u2019s newly-appointed Director-General of the Directorate of Nationality, Civil Registry, Passport, and Immigration, Maj. Gen. Simon Majur Pabek, disclosed on Thursday that the Hepatitis virus is widespread among police officers, leading to the loss of many servicemembers.<\/p>\n

Speaking during his reception ceremony held in Juba, General Majur mentioned that the disease has been prevalent within the police force since his tenure in the immigration directorate in 2018.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe second topic, which is going to be within our plan, and maybe I\u2019m not talking about what is going on today here within this directive, but it\u2019s going back to when I was here in 2018,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have issues to do with the welfare of our officers and NCOs, and we have a very permanent sickness within this institution, hepatitis,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He stated that the department has \u201clost a lot of our brothers and sisters in this institution due to that particular sickness.\u201d<\/p>\n

He called for efforts to address the disease and emphasized the need for cooperation within the directorate to tackle the issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to have a very clear plan on how to address it. Again, all these kinds of things, we need cooperation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we don\u2019t cooperate with any institution here, that means even our IGP will not support. If we don\u2019t cooperate with any institution here, that means even our IGP will not support us,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Hepatitis is a viral infection known for its various strains, namely Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Hepatitis D, and Hepatitis E. This infectious condition specifically targets the liver, leading to inflammation and potentially severe damage.<\/p>\n

Each variant of Hepatitis has distinct characteristics, modes of transmission, and impacts on liver health. The common denominator across these strains is their ability to cause liver inflammation, which can manifest in symptoms ranging from mild discomfort to more serious complications<\/p>\n

Gen. Majur was appointed by President Salva Kiir Mayardit as the new Director-General of the Directorate of Nationality, Civil Registry, Passport, and Immigration last week.<\/p>\n

He replaces General Atem Marol, who was appointed as the Inspector General of Police by President Kiir in November of the previous year.<\/p>\n
