Khartoum North – Sudanhorizon
Member of the Transitional Sovereign Council, Lieutenant General Engineer Ibrahim Jaber, accompanied by Federal Minister of Health Dr. Haitham Mohamed Ibrahim and the Governor of Khartoum State, Ahmed Osman Hamza, inaugurated Haj Al-Safi Hospital in Khartoum North. This inauguration is part of efforts to revitalize main institutions and facilitate the return of civilians.
Ibrahim Jaber expressed deep appreciation for the medical staff working at the hospital, emphasizing the government commitment to completing all necessary equipment and technical supplies to ensure the hospital operates at full capacity, the Sudan News Agency reported.
For his part, Federal Minister of Health, Haitham Mohamed Ibrahim, has reaffirmed that the hospital’s opening represents a crucial step within the “gradual return” plan for the national capital.
The Minister revealed that efforts to restore health institutions in Khartoum State have been successful, exceeding 86% according to the Ministry’s latest reports.
He noted that Haj Al-Safi Hospital had suffered extensive damage and systematic destruction, but the combined efforts of Khartoum State, the Sovereign Council, and donors have restored the medical facility to service at an advanced level.
The Minister also mentioned equipping the hospital with modern diagnostic and laboratory equipment and expanding surgical services to include laparoscopic surgery. He announced that the hospital will represent a qualitative addition to specialized treatment and oncology services, compensating for the loss caused by the closure of major hospitals in other areas.
In a related context, Dr. Taha Al-Kabashi, Acting Director General of the Khartoum State Ministry of Health, explained that providing comprehensive health services aims to enhance the stability of citizens and encourage them to return to their homes in Bahri with peace of mind.
Al-Kabashi commended the health personnel who have remained on the front lines since the outbreak of the war, emphasizing the Ministry’s commitment to dedicating all resources to developing the health sector in the state.
Furthermore, Dr. Idris Abdullah Saleh, director of Haj Al-Safi Hospital, described the opening as a “historic achievement,” particularly with the introduction of the CT scanner and the inauguration of the cancer treatment center.
The hospital director revealed a generous donation of $500,000 from Lieutenant General Ibrahim Jaber for the hospital’s development, emphasizing that this step will alleviate the suffering of patients who previously had to endure the hardship of traveling to other states.
He stressed that diagnostic and cancer treatment services will be available to serve all segments of society, especially the poor and needy.
