April 15 - 2021 KHARTOUM According to the Socialist Doctors' Association, 58 per cent of essential medicines, including life-saving medicines, are not available anymore in Sudan. In a statement on April 5, the Socialist Doctors Association said that the health system in the country has collapsed. The extremely poor medicine supply services “herald a catastrophic situation”. The doctors state that the government's reluctance to pay for the provision of medicines to the National Fund for Medical Supplies in the two first months this year is “directly reflected in the lack of dialysis materials, medicines needed for cancer treatments, narcotics, and remedies for mental and neurological disorders”.
