Sudan: Delivering life-saving care to support a health system in crisis

Sudan Healthcare ICRC Newsroom 1

Since the start of the conflict, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has been working to support the Sudanese health system. In 2023, the ICRC delivered emergency medical supplies to 88 hospitals across the country – supplies that helped treat more than 22,000 people wounded by weapons.

Earlier this year, the ICRC deployed a mobile surgical team to Atbara Teaching Hospital in River Nile state, approximately 300 km north of Khartoum. The team treated over 150 war-wounded patients in just a few weeks. Atbara, a city of about 100,000 people, has received large numbers of displaced families – as well as displaced health workers.
