Funding cuts threaten clinic closures across Sudan, aid groups warn
Dozens of health clinics are at risk of closing because of reduced funding, according to aid groups cited by France 24 International.
Funding cuts are forcing dozens of health clinics across Sudan to close, aid groups have warned, raising concerns about the continuity of healthcare services in a country facing a severe humanitarian crisis.
France 24 International reported the warning in its “Eye on Africa” programme on 9 September. The report attributed the closures to reduced funding but did not identify the donors or aid organisations involved.
The number of clinics affected was not specified beyond the description of “dozens”. The source material also does not identify the areas of Sudan where the clinics are located or provide closure dates.
The consequences for patients and health services were not detailed. The warning comes as aid groups face funding constraints that are affecting the operation of health facilities across Sudan.
