The collapse of cancer services in Khartoum and many parts of Sudan since<br />
the eruption of the war in April, <strong>2023</strong>, left thousands of Sudanese patients<br />
and those who come from neighboring countries without care. Sudan, despite<br />
challenges, had achieved considerable strides in delivering cancer services,<br />
boasting one of the oldest cancer centers in Africa with most oncologists<br />
practicing in Sudan having trained locally. Progress has been made in the<br />
decentralization of cancer services with the establishment of several provincial<br />
cancer centers outside Khartoum.1 Two centers, in Wad Medani and Merowe,<br />
provide radiotherapy although at a much more limited capacity than that of<br />
Khartoum. Other centers provide chemotherapy and a mostly partial array of<br />
cancer surgeries and diagnostics, such as those located in Shendi, El Obeid,<br />
El-Gadarif, Nyala, and El-Fasher.<br />
