Webinar Sudan: medical care in a forgotten crisis (ENG)
De datum is gepasseerd
Over the past three years, the news surrounding Sudan has remained relatively quiet while one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises is unfolding here. Healthcare has largely collapsed and people are in need of assistance. Millions are fleeing violence, hunger and diseases. Neighboring countries such as Chad, South Sudan and Egypt are sheltering Sudanese refugees, often in overcrowded camps. What are our teams witnessing there? And what does it mean to provide emergency medical care in a crisis that remains largely out of sight?
During a special webinar on June 30th, we took our donors and supporters behind the scenes of our emergency medical relief work in Sudan. Our colleagues will give you the latest updates and explain how we continue to provide medical care, what difficult choices we face every day, and what that means for patients.
