On 16 April 2026, Sudan’s Federal Ministry of Health, with the Federal Ministries of Agriculture and Irrigation, Finance and Economic Planning, the World Health Organization (WHO) and other partners, launched the Sudan National Cholera Strategic Plan 2026–2030. The Plan brings together actors from multiple sectors to work together towards ending cholera as a public health threat in Sudan.

Developed through long consultations among relevant ministries and with partners, the Cholera Strategic Plan 2026–2030 was endorsed by H.E. Federal Minister of Health Dr Heitham Mohammed Ibrahim. It aims to reduce the frequency and intensity of cholera outbreaks through multisectoral approaches for cholera prevention and control.

Enhanced multisectoral preparedness and response interventions will focus on 52 priority areas identified through a consultative process guided by the Global Task Force on Cholera Control (GTFCC). Specifically, the plan aims to reduce national cholera incidence to below 42 per 100 000 population and reduce cholera deaths by 90% by 2030.
