In early November 2020, new arrivals from the Tigray region of Ethiopia started crossing into Sudan at two points, Hamdayet and Ludgi. Initially people’s physical health conditions were okay, as they had not travelled long distances. We are also concerned about people not having access to required medications for chronic health conditions. The main medical conditions our teams see are respiratory tract infections, acute watery diarrhea, as well as people with chronic health conditions, such as diabetes and hypertension. In these permanent camps, we will be providing primary health care, reproductive health care, mental health care, vaccination, malnutrition treatment, and treatment for chronic health conditions.
