On May 23, 2025, in Geneva, Minister of Health Dr. Haitham Mohamed Ibrahim met with Lisa Stevens, who leads the Program of Action for Cancer Therapy (PACT) at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
In the course of the meeting, the Minister discussed the challenging healthcare situation in Sudan due to the conflict initiated by the rebel Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia against the Sudanese population, highlighting severe impacts on the health system. He mentioned that several key hospitals, particularly those located in Khartoum and Shendi, had been forced to close; however, the primary Madani Hospital has started offering medical care again specifically for cancer patients.
The Minister confirmed the Sudanese government’s complete dedication to offering all required assistance to set up specialized cancer treatment facilities. He highlighted cooperative efforts with certain nations as well as the African Development Bank to develop these centers, especially those focused on cancers affecting women. The minister also conveyed his appreciation for Sudan being part of the “Rays of Hope” program initiated by the IAEA.
