Country Facts
- In Sudan, communities are facing the COVID-19 pandemic alongside other crises like a recent polio outbreak and the effects of record-breaking floods.
- In September 2020, record-breaking floods devastated 17 of the 18 states in Sudan, created mass displacement, and led to a national state of emergency.
- In November 2020, violence in Ethiopia's Tigray region led to a mass exodus of refugees into eastern Sudan.
- About 9.3 million people (23% of the population) are currently in need of humanitarian assistance.
- Many of Sudan’s internally displaced persons have experienced trauma; this increases their risk of mental health issues and puts children at a higher risk of abuse, exploitation, and violence.
- Throughout Sudan, most people – 58% of households – cannot afford a basic daily food basket.
- Over 2.7 million children suffer from acute malnutrition.

SUDAN COVID-19 RELIEF
MedGlobal has distributed PPE and other critically-needed medical supplies to 8 hospitals in Sudan partnership with Sudan Association of Paediatrics (SAP).
The rapid progression of COVID-19 infection in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, and in surrounding states is exerting a huge burden on the healthcare system. The severe lack of essential medical supplies, including lack of financial, human, and other resources has contributed to increasing rates of morbidity and mortality of COVID-19 infection amongst Sudanese patients in general and health care providers in particular. Additionally, the shortage in medical supplies has led to closure of many hospitals and placed an immense workload on hospitals that remain open. MedGlobal and SAP will provide much-needed personal protective equipment (PPE) and medical supplies to eight hospitals that provide care to particularly vulnerable individuals.
The 8 hospitals that MedGlobal is supporting are located across six Sudaneses states: Khartoum, Al Gezira, North Kordofan, West Kordofan, Qadarif and Sennar. These supplies have reached over 5,000 healthcare providers at these hospitals, and are expected to impact the safety of over 3,000 patients per day who are treated by these providers. The supplies will help them to protect themselves and their patients from COVID-19 infection.
