摘要
The Sudan War 2023 is a military conflict that erupted in the heart of a paralyzed state system. A total of 68% of hospitals are presently closed, with the remainder operating just partially owing to a lack of staff, medical supplies, and pharmaceuticals. Furthermore, due to power outages, Sudan's vaccination and insulin stocks are under jeopardy. Additionally, patients with chronic conditions have difficulty receiving their prescriptions. This unaccounted-for conflict is expected to degrade Sudan's already-weak healthcare sector by the recent COVID-19 pandemic and 2018 revolution. Humanitarian emergency care is being offered by numerous non-for-profit organizations and civilians initiatives; but, more measures, notably aimed at preventing political upheaval, are required to save the country's future.
