Sudan's healthcare system 'on brink of collapse,' MSF warns
More than a third of health facilities are nonoperational as aid cuts intensify, according to Médecins Sans Frontières.
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) warned that Sudan's healthcare infrastructure is deteriorating rapidly, with over one-third of health facilities no longer functioning. The medical charity attributed the crisis to deepening aid cuts affecting the country's ability to maintain medical services.
The collapse of healthcare infrastructure compounds an ongoing humanitarian emergency in Sudan, where displacement, conflict, and disease have strained the health sector's capacity to respond to public health needs.
