34 Hospitals, 214 Health Centers Resume Operations in Khartoum State

The Sudanese Doctors’ Network announced on Sunday the resumption of services at 34 hospitals and 214 health centers in Khartoum State, despite the extensive destruction that has affected the health sector.

In a report issued today, the Sudanese Doctors’ Network outlined the latest developments in the health sector in Khartoum State after two years of war, which began on April 15, 2023. The conflict led to the shutdown of 73 out of 80 private hospitals as a result of destruction, looting, and the conversion of some facilities into military barracks, with total losses estimated at more than 14 billion US dollars.

The report noted that the situation witnessed relative improvement in 2025, as the number of functioning hospitals increased from only seven during the war to the current 34. In addition, 214 health centers across Khartoum localities have resumed operations, easing the pressure on hospitals and providing primary healthcare services to citizens.

It added that this recovery marks an important step toward rehabilitating the health sector. However, 46 hospitals remain out of service, and there is still an urgent need for further technical and logistical support to repair the damage and ensure continuity of healthcare services across the state.

The Sudanese Doctors’ Network affirmed that the overall situation in the state remains fragile, with services varying between localities. Nonetheless, efforts to reactivate health facilities have contributed to achieving a degree of relative stability.

The Network called for continued work on rehabilitation and for providing the necessary support to medical facilities so they can meet the needs of Khartoum State’s population during this critical phase.
