HEALTH SECTOR
HEALTH FOR ALL:
A BASIC RIGHT
In Sudan, millions continue to face critical challenges in accessing affordable healthcare. Sadagaat Canada is dedicated to changing this by providing essential medical services, raising awareness about health, and upgrading healthcare facilities with much-needed equipment. We also focus on empowering local health professionals through training to minimise avoidable deaths and enhance the quality of patient care.
One of our impactful initiatives is the “Ashan Bnhibk” breast cancer awareness campaign, which has supported over 430,000 women with screenings and life-saving education.
Together, we can work towards ensuring that every Sudanese individual receives access to critical healthcare and the dignity they deserve.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
OUR HEALTH PROJECTS
Rehabilitation of Hospital/Clinic/Lab
Conflict doesn’t just displace people, it destroys the medical infrastructure millions depend on. We rehabilitate these facilities so they can continue to serve patients. A destroyed hospital means no surgeries, no emergency care, or diagnostic tests for entire regions. The rehabilitation work covers structural repairs, equipment replacement, restoring water and electricity, and meeting basic infection control standards. When the only hospital within 50 kilometres shuts down, people die from treatable conditions. Getting these facilities restored isn’t optional; it’s the difference between having healthcare access and having none.
Supporting Dialysis Centers
Dialysis for a kidney patient cannot stop, not even during conflict. Amid the crisis, Sadagaat Canada supports two dialysis centres – one in Alkamlīn (Al Jazeera State) and another in Atbara (Nile River State) – serving 24,248 patients who need regular dialysis to survive. The program covers operational expenses like rent, medical supplies, treatment costs, and transportation to the centers. For displaced people and residents dealing with kidney failure, missing even a few dialysis sessions can be fatal. The centers also support a guest house for 150 patients and staff who travel long distances for treatment. Our centers keep people alive by ensuring they can access the treatment they need to survive.
Patient Referral Service
Not every clinic has the equipment or specialized staff to handle complex cases. Our patient referral service bridges that gap by connecting patients to secondary-level facilities that can provide the care they need. The service focuses on emergency cases; situations where the primary clinic simply can’t treat the condition. Someone comes in with a complication that requires surgery or specialized diagnostics, and the clinic has neither. The referral service makes sure they get to a facility that does. It reaches about 20 patients per month who would otherwise have nowhere to go for treatment. In areas where the nearest equipped hospital is hours away, this service can be a lifeline.
Clinic Operation & Support
For many displaced people, Sadagaat Canada’s clinic is the only medical facility they can reach. The nearest alternative is 30 to 40 kilometres away, which might as well be impossible when you have no transportation or money. The clinic supports approximately 2,000 beneficiaries who depend on it for essential care. Sadagaat covers operational costs and extends the clinic’s capacity so it can keep serving the community. The program also provides immunosuppressive medication to prevent kidney transplant rejection, reaching 4,500 kidney transplant recipients across Sudan. Without this clinic, people won’t have a place to get treatment for preventable conditions, chronic illnesses can get worse, and emergencies can turn fatal.
