The tragic toll of Sudan’s destroyed healthcare

Sudan's healthcare system has been devastated by the ongoing civil war, which is about to enter its fourth year in March 2026. Hundreds of healthcare facilities have been attacked, medical personnel killed, and medicine warehouses looted by fighters. As a result, Sudanese citizens seeking medical treatment face immense challenges, including navigating active fighting and hostile checkpoints. The destruction of healthcare infrastructure severely limits access to essential medical services for those injured or ill. The attacks on healthcare appear to be deliberate, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis within Sudan.
