You Are Invited
On April 15, the Sudanese American Physicians Association (SAPA) will convene medical professionals, legal experts, policymakers, and humanitarian leaders.
Marking three years since the war began, this event focuses on a critical and under-addressed issue:
The Targeting of Healthcare in Sudan.
The Reality of Healthcare in Sudan
Across Sudan, access to healthcare is no longer consistent or reliable.
Health System Under Strain
Hospitals and clinics have been damaged or forced to shut down.
Those still operating face limited staff and disrupted supplies.
Health Workers Under Attack
Health facilities have been damaged, and healthcare workers face threats while providing care.
These actions violate international humanitarian law.
Access to Care Is Declining
Emergency and maternal services have been significantly affected.
In many areas, healthcare is no longer reliably accessible.
Healthcare Workers Sustain Care Under Risk
They are working in damaged facilities, with limited supplies and no reliable protection, treating large numbers of patients despite ongoing risk.
They are among the few able to witness and document what is happening on the ground.
The Event Focuses on
How attacks on healthcare are documented and verified
What legal and protection frameworks exist, and where they fall short
What policy and legislative actions are needed to improve protection
