Doctors Without Borders says Sudan’s humanitarian crisis is intensifying as health services struggle to cope with the demands of war.
The organisation’s president, Javed Abdel Moneim, spoke during his first visit to Sudan since taking office.
He said shortages of resources and access constraints are placing growing pressure on hospitals and frontline medical teams.
Abdel Moneim warned that delays in assistance risk increasing illness, injury, and preventable deaths among civilians.
He reaffirmed that Sudan remains a priority for Doctors Without Borders despite the complex operating environment.
Since fighting began in April 2023, the organisation has supported trauma care, maternal health, disease response, and malnutrition treatment.
Its teams have also assisted vaccination efforts and water and sanitation programmes in several regions.
Abdel Moneim said the war has widened existing healthcare gaps, leaving many vulnerable communities without adequate services.
Doctors Without Borders plans to expand operations into Kordofan this year, alongside ongoing work in other states.
He praised Sudanese healthcare workers and civilians for their resilience under extremely difficult conditions.
Doctors Without Borders has operated in Sudan since 1979, running hospitals and mobile clinics where the health system has been severely disrupted.
