The Federal Ministry of Health under the Tasis government has delivered three dialysis machines to the dialysis center in Ed Daein in Sudan’s East Darfur State following a shutdown that lasted more than a year and left 24 patients dead.
Ed Daein Hospital was subjected to aerial attacks by the Sudanese army in March 2025, destroying its buildings and completely suspending its services.
Speaking during the handover of the machines, Minister of Roads and Bridges Dr Khalid Ahmed Aseel described the army’s targeting of Ed Daein Hospital, which he said was intended to disable an essential service institution, as a humanitarian crime.
“Providing healthcare is a fundamental part of the Tasis government’s responsibilities and reaffirms the ‘recovery’ slogan it has been promoting in recent days,” he said.
For his part, Federal Undersecretary of Health Al-Amin Daoud paid tribute to the medical staff who continued working at Ed Daein Hospital despite repeated attacks.
“We pledge to provide free healthcare services to residents, including primary healthcare, maternal and child health services, dialysis treatment, and care at rural hospitals,” he said. “The ministry is prepared to respond to public health emergencies, including cholera and measles outbreaks, and work to contain their spread.”
Meanwhile, East Darfur’s Director-General of Health, al-Azraq Hassan Humida, said the dialysis center had suspended operations in 2024 following an aerial attack on the hospital. Services subsequently resumed at Ed Daein Hospital, but a second attack in March 2025 killed more than 70 patients, he said.
“All patients receiving dialysis at the center have since died as a result of the interruption of treatment,” he stated.
He expressed hope that the equipment will enable services to resume.
