Abstract
The Sudan conflict has severely impacted hypertension management, exacerbating the condition through chronic stress, disrupted healthcare, and lifestyle changes. Hypertension, a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, worsens with war-related stress and limited access to medications due to damaged healthcare infrastructure. Additionally, displacement, economic hardship, and food insecurity contribute to poor diets and reduced physical activity, further complicating blood pressure control. This article highlights the urgent need for adaptive healthcare strategies, such as mobile clinics and international aid, to address these challenges. A concerted effort is required to improve hypertension management and outcomes in conflict-affected populations.
