Maintaining Vital Medical Education Programs Despite the Devastating Effects of the Sudanese War

The ongoing civil war in Sudan has had disastrous effects on all aspects of life for the Sudanese, including the essential training of new medical personnel, who are an integral component of health systems in a country in great need of healthcare. The efforts of a leading Khartoum medical university, the University of Medical Sciences and Technology, to sustain the training of medical and allied health personnel after the April civil war in 2023 serve as a unique example of adaptation and inter-country collaboration. Efforts to maintain the educational programs for well over 3,000 medical students, individuals who are desperately needed to provide healthcare in their war-torn country, are described in this report.
