Over 600 Sudanese Medical Staff Killed or Injured since War Began

At least 600 medical personnel have been killed or injured in Sudan since the outbreak of war in April 2023, the preliminary committee of the Sudanese Doctors Union said on Tuesday. The figures underscore the mounting risks for healthcare workers as the conflict between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) nears its third year. Adiba Ibrahim Al-Sayed, a member of the union’s preliminary committee and an internal medicine specialist, told Sudan Tribune that the committee recorded 222 deaths among medical staff while on duty. Another 378 personnel have been wounded between April 15, 2023, and March 2026. … Al-Sayed said more than 2,000 hospitals and health centres have been destroyed during the war. The destruction has triggered a collapse of the country’s health sector, leaving millions without access to basic medical care. Sudan Tribune
