Rethinking cholera response
Introduction The ongoing conflict in Sudan has intensified the country’s already fragile public health landscape. Since July 2024, Sudan has faced one of the most extensive cholera outbreaks in its modern history, affecting 17 states and 109 localities and resulting in 83,245 reported cases and 2,124 deaths by June 2025. Traditional, hierarchical outbreak response systems have proven insufficient in such a dynamic, volatile environment. Methods U…
From evidence to action
Background: Sudan has a long history of struggling with recurrent cholera outbreaks. The interplay of infrastructure damage, massive displacement, and limited access to safe water and sanitation has increased the risk of cholera transmission. The study aims to identify priority areas for multisectoral interventions (PAMIs) to inform public health policy and ensure evidence-based strategic control of cholera in Sudan. Methods: In this retrospectiv…
Event-Based surveillance (EBS) implementation in unstable and conflict settings
Despite the limited resources and the current war, the system kept functioning, and its core activities were maintained. The commitment of both partners and the Government of Sudan is an asset that should be strategically leveraged to expand this surveillance to areas that can benefit from EBS the most
Sudan’s Mpox surveillance system during the 2022 pandemic
Background: Mpox (formerly monkeypox) is a zoonotic disease caused by the Mpox virus. Although the disease is endemic in several Central and West African countries, it has recently emerged in Europe and the United States and was declared a public health event of international concern. This study aimed to evaluate Mpox surveillance in Sudan and provide insights for better epidemic preparedness. Methods: Mpox surveillance was evaluated based on Cen…
Cholera in conflict
Cholera remains a recurrent risk that has been further exacerbated by the armed conflict. The reporting of index cases from a border village highlights the need to strengthen surveillance at points of entry. Investment in case management and risk communication is necessary to improve clinical outcomes. The use of Oral Cholera Vaccine was associated with a decline in cases; however, further field studies are recommended to analyze its actual contr…
A decade of change
The national maternal mortality ratio significantly declined between 2009 and 2019, with wide regional disparities. Direct causes of maternal death remain a critical challenge. Effective strategies or frameworks focused on reducing maternal mortality ratios in Sudan are strongly solicited
The role of the Field Epidemiology Training Program in the public health emergency response
Background On April 15, 2023, the armed conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) started in Khartoum state, Sudan. This conflict was complicated by the preexisting complicated epidemiological situation and fragile health system in Sudan. This study endeavors to illuminate the pivotal role essayed by the Sudan FETP (SFETP) in enhancing the nation’s public health response, particularly amidst the tumultuou…
Monkeypox pandemic in Sudan, surveillance epidemiologic report, 2022
Mpox was confirmed in the new Sudan for the first time with cases reported in most of states. Although importation of the virus is hypothesized, internal hidden circulation is possible and more in-depth investigation is highly recommended. The higher rate of infection among preschool, school children and refugees, highlights the need to strengthen the prevention and control measures in schools and camps. More focus on the data completeness is req…
