Ibrahim Malik Teaching Hospital in Khartoum has resumed emergency medical services following an extensive rehabilitation programme supported by the Sudanese American Physicians Association (SAPA).
The reopening, announced on 5 October 2026, represents an important development in restoring healthcare services in Sudan’s capital. The hospital’s emergency department now has more than 58 equipped beds, expanding its capacity to accommodate patients requiring urgent medical attention.
The rehabilitation programme focused on restoring damaged facilities, upgrading medical infrastructure and providing essential equipment to support the resumption of healthcare services.
SAPA played a central role in the rehabilitation, working to restore the hospital’s operational capacity and improve access to medical treatment. The organisation’s involvement forms part of its wider efforts to support healthcare facilities and strengthen the sustainability of medical services across Sudan.
SAPA Director Dr. Ali Al-Sayed highlighted the importance of maintaining healthcare services and continuing investment in medical infrastructure. The organisation has also emphasised the need to create safe and functional healthcare environments for patients and medical professionals.
Hospital Director Dr. Mahmoud Saeed welcomed the progress achieved, noting that substantial sections of the hospital have been rehabilitated. However, additional equipment and improvements are still required before all services can be fully restored.
In addition to providing medical treatment, Ibrahim Malik Teaching Hospital serves as an important centre for medical education and professional training. Further improvements to its teaching facilities are expected to support the development of healthcare professionals.
