Women’s Health 2026

Overview

The Women’s Health Plan 2026 is SAMA’s strategic response to the urgent and growing health needs of Sudanese refugee women and girls affected by conflict and displacement. Grounded in trauma-informed, survivor-centered care, the plan focuses on strengthening access to gender-based violence (GBV) response services, maternal and reproductive health care, HIV prevention, and psychosocial support, while building the capacity of frontline healthcare workers in crisis-affected settings.

Implemented in Kosti, Sudan and Adré, Chad, this plan responds to the realities faced by women and girls fleeing violence—many of whom arrive with severe trauma, untreated medical needs, and limited access to safe, confidential healthcare.

Our 2026 vision

By 2026, SAMA aims to ensure that displaced women and girls can safely access dignified, confidential, and comprehensive health and protection services, delivered by trained healthcare providers and supported by strong community referral systems.

The Women’s Health Plan 2026 envisions:

  • Survivor-centered healthcare that prioritizes dignity, safety, and confidentiality
  • Strengthened frontline health systems capable of responding to trauma and GBV
  • Improved maternal and reproductive health outcomes in humanitarian settings
  • Reduced stigma and increased community trust in health services

Program Locations

  • Kosti, White Nile State, Sudan
  • Adre, Chad

These locations were selected based on urgent humanitarian need, high concentrations of displaced populations, and the presence of overstretched health systems requiring targeted support for women’s health, gender-based violence response, and maternal care.

Core Program Pillars

  • Trauma & Gender-Based Violence Response
  • Maternal & Reproductive Health Support
  • HIV Testing & Prevention
  • Capacity Building for Frontline Healthcare Workers
  • Community Engagement & Safe Access
