The spread of infectious diseases, especially cholera, has posed a challenge to Sudan's health system amid the conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) over the past two years.

The number of cholera infections in Sudan has surpassed 70,000, as conflict zones are experiencing widespread hospital closures and shortages of medical supplies, leaving the system for infectious disease surveillance, prevention, and control almost unable to function.
