MSF is providing paediatrics services for children under 15 years in Um Rakuba Refugee Camp and Umdawanban Hospital in Khartoum. MSF teams run inpatient therapeutic feeding centres (ITFC) in the Turkish Hospital, Umdawanban Hospital, Taneidba and Um Rakuba refugee camps and Rokero. We also support the ITFCs in El Geneina Hospital and Kerenik, Western Darfur and the Al Kashafa Hospital in the White Nile state. In Ad-Damazine Teaching Hospital, Blue Nile State, MSF teams run an ITFC and an ambulatory therapeutic feeding programme (ATFC). At the primary healthcare clinic in Zamzam camp, North Darfur state, MSF runs an ATFC. Our teams also screen children under five for malnutrition in the healthcare facilities we work in across Sudan. 

MSF teams provide primary healthcare, support vaccination campaigns, screenings and carry out rapid tests for communicable diseases. We are also supporting the Ministry of Health to respond to the emerging and increasing needs caused by the lack of access to healthcare and dire conditions.

MSF teams are both working in hospitals around Sudan, and providing support to the Ministry of Health staff and volunteers working in hospitals. Teams provide surgical interventions in Khartoum city, Omdurman in Khartoum state and El Fasher in North Darfur state. Emergency interventions in Khartoum city, Omdurman in Khartoum state, Al Jazirah state, West Darfur and North Darfur state. MSF teams are both working in hospitals around Sudan, and providing support to the Ministry of Health staff and volunteers working in hospitals. MSF teams are providing and supporting emergency care, surgical interventions, including trauma, obstetric and general surgeries, as well as support through medical and non-medical donations, such as generators and fuel, incentives for MoH staff, rehabilitation and repurposing of facilities, training hospital staff, supporting the triage of system and supporting the water and sanitation systems.

MSF teams are responding to the exponential mental health needs by providing psychological first aid and mental healthcare to people fleeing the fighting. Mental healthcare as well as sexual and reproductive healthcare are included in the MSF mobile clinic services. In Um Rakuba refugee camp and Taneidba camp, in El Gedaref state, MSF teams provide mental health counselling for refugees and the host community members. Teams in Alkashafa Hospital, White Nile State and the El Geneina Teaching Hospital provide both mental health support and sexual and reproductive healthcare. We are also providing sexual and reproductive healthcare in Umdawanban and Khartoum states and caring for survivors of gender-based sexual violence in Shaheed Wadaatallah Primary Healthcare Centre.

The destruction and looting of health facilities, acute shortages of utilities and medical supplies, and under-resourced health staff overworking without pay have increased pressure on a health system struggling to cope with the medical needs of the conflict. MSF supports hospitals and other health facilities with medical and logistical donations, rehabilitating damaged and looted health facilities and paying incentives to Ministry of Health staff. To ensure the continuity of care, MSF teams donate medical supplies where they can. They also provide medicine, wound treatment and paediatric kits and logistical support such as water tanks, fuel and cleaning materials to run generators and ambulances to hospitals and health facilities in Khartoum city and state, North, South, Central and East Darfur, Al Jazirah, Al-Gedaref, Kassala and Northern (Wadi Halfa) states; and to networks of medical volunteers in south Khartoum, who are (when accessible) providing critical services, such as trauma first aid, primary healthcare mobile clinics, and logistical support for the distribution of supplies.
