A number of pregnant women have been infected with hepatitis B in El Gedaref hospital, in the east of Sudan.

An internal medicine specialist at the hospital warned of a possible outbreak of the disease, owing to the continuously deteriorating situation at the Obstetrics and Gynecology section. This caused the infections of sixteen pregnant patients, the source told Radio Dabanga.
