The medical staff at the Al-Now Hospital in Omdurman, Sudan, has expressed frustration about a lack of resources as they try to handle the inflow of patients.
“There is a huge lack in the medical teams and a huge lack in the hospital’s facilities. In normal circumstances there are teams, now the shift is longer as not enough doctors exist, there are only two doctors or one doctor who covers one or two departments and sometimes three departments,” says Dr Alaa Mohammed, a doctor at the Al-Now hospital.
Volunteers at the institution also expressed dissatisfaction over the lack of resources for the dialysis department and the fuel shortage for ambulances.
According to the Sudanese Health Ministry, 512 persons, including civilians and combatants, have died and 4,200 have been injured since April 15.
There have been at least 387 civilian deaths and 1,928 civilian injuries, according to The Doctors’ Syndicate, which keeps track of such incidents.
