Sudan praises Qatar Charity’s support for health sector

The Sudanese government expressed its appreciation for Qatar Charity's (QC) support for the health sector of the country with 79 tons of intravenous solutions, at a time when the Ministry of Health revealed an acute shortage of medicines.

Dr. Iman Mukhtar, Director of Bilateral and Multilateral Relations at the Ministry, stated that Qatar Charity’s support with large quantities of intravenous fluids was completely timely, noting that the support will contribute to saving the lives of thousands of patients, who had been suffering to obtain these solutions in the past period.

Iman said that the State of Qatar has always been proactive in doing charity work, thanking the government and the people of Qatar and Qatar Charity. “We value the efforts they are making, and we thank them on behalf of the government of Sudan,” said Iman, indicating that these efforts help provide health services, medicines and solutions needed by the Sudanese people.

It is worth mentioning that Qatar Charity has implemented many significant projects in support of the health sector in Sudan to enhance its capabilities to respond to emergencies. It has established eight comprehensive service complexes for dispensaries and health centers as part of the Darfur initiative. It has also implemented many other projects to combat blindness and endemic diseases, in addition to building new hospitals with large capacities, such as Al-Attiyah Hospital in Khartoum. It also works on enhancing the preparedness of the health system to respond to emergencies in Sudan.

It is worth noting that, in addition to the official appreciation, Qatar Charity’s support for the health sector in Sudan received remarkable public appreciation, especially after it sent a plane loaded with aid and medical equipment to protect medical personnel fighting the coronavirus.  The popular appreciation for Qatar Charity’s efforts was evident in its brightest form after it launched the ‘Peace for Sudan’ campaign to alleviate the suffering of those affected by the flooding and rain that hit the country where more than 28,000 affected people benefited.
