A global doctors’ association has expressed worry over the safety of healthcare personnel in Sudan as war between forces led by two rival generals continues despite calls for a ceasefire.
Speaking during the 223rd World Medical Association (WMA) Council Session in Nairobi, Kenya, the WMA President, Dr Osahon Enabulele, called for an immediate ceasefire, warning that hospitals and healthcare facilities must never become targets in the ongoing conflict.
