Port Sudan – Sudanhorizon
The Federal Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization (WHO) have reviewed the implementation of the SHARE (Surgery in Health Assistance and Emergency Response) project during a meeting held at the Al-Rabwa Hotel. The meeting was attended by ministry leaders, directors of state health ministries, and representatives of the targeted hospitals.
The ministry affirmed its commitment to rehabilitating and improving hospitals affected by the war. It noted the integration of efforts between the National Hospital Support Project, which includes 40 hospitals, and the SHARE project, which targets 10 key hospitals. The aim is to enhance the resilience of the health system and transition from the emergency response phase to sustainable recovery.
Dr. Ali Babiker Sayed Ahmed, Undersecretary of the Federal Ministry of Health, stated that hospitals suffered destruction, looting, and pillaging during the war. He emphasized the ministry’s commitment to supporting functioning hospitals, which have borne an additional burden due to displacement, as well as working to revamp closed hospitals to achieve service stability in various regions.
The Undersecretary emphasized the importance of reviewing performance one year after the project’s implementation to develop an accurate assessment that supports sound planning. He explained that the Ministry is working on a five-year vision to transform hospitals into institutions with a significant societal impact, and called for the development of international partnerships to ensure continued success.
Dr. Haider Mohamed Abdel Nabi, Director of the General Directorate of Curative Medicine, explained that the meeting aimed to assess challenges and maximize the project’s benefits. He noted that SHARE represents an extension of the Ministry’s efforts and has achieved clear successes.
Dr. Mohamed Kamal, Director of Othman Digna Hospital and representative of hospital directors, affirmed that the project provides essential support in addressing the challenges facing hospitals, particularly regarding limited resources and insufficient funding for medical equipment maintenance.
Tom Mutuku, representative of the World Health Organization, revealed that the SHARE project serves more than three million people. He stressed that the conflict has weakened the health system and that the organization is working in coordination with the Ministry to reach those in need and bridge gaps in health services.
The meeting reviewed core activities, involved partners in analyzing results, and formulated practical recommendations to improve performance, in addition to discussing ways to enhance administrative efficiency and enable health personnel to keep pace with global developments in hospital and emergency management, in order to ensure the sustainability of health services.
