El-Fasher teaching hospital facing difficulties

The El-Fasher teaching hospital is facing difficulties, especially regarding an acute shortage of basic services and overcrowding, Radio Dabanga has learned. The ministry of health’s general director, Dr. Khaled Hamed Abdel Nabi, attributed these problems to the high transportation costs of goods between Khartoum and El-Fasher. He spoke to Radio Dabanga on Sunday, 30 September. According to Nabi, life-saving oxygen, medicines belonging to the hospital’s two pharmacies, and water are critically scarce. He also pointed out to the hospital’s deteriorating health environment and overcrowding, citing that often two children must share one bed.
