Dialysis Care in Dongola

Background

Dialysis patients are one of the most vulnerable groups affected by the war in Sudan. Most dialysis centers in Khartoum are out of service, and hundreds of dialysis patients fled to Dongola to resume their dialysis.

SAMA is supporting Al-Jomaih Dialysis Center, a public sector dialysis center, in Dongola to meet the additional demand.

Objective

  • Funding the purchase of dialysis medical supplies & dialysis-related medications
  • Providing logistical support (fuel, cleansing items, infrastructure maintenance )

Partners
