Abstract: Introduction: On April 15 th 2023, bbattles initially broke out in the capital city, Khartoum, after the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia, which used to be under the command of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), rebelled.During such a disaster, Sudanese people are expected to reconsider their life priorities, with education coming down after safety and food supply. Escalating Mortality & Morbidity among Sudanese Ali Awadallah et al, 27Methodology: This commentary relies on reports from the UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, along with recent journal articles discussing the consequences of ongoing conflicts.Personal observations as healthcare workers contribute to the insights, and data from the healthcare workers illuminate the struggles faced by them. Results:The war resulted in the widespread destruction of health system infrastructure in different states of Sudan, leaving people uncertain about their health.As reported nine million people have been internally displaced throughout Sudan, overwhelming the state-specific health systems.Data from Sudan's Doctor's Trade Union suggests 70% of health care services are no longer functioning due to lack of supplies, personnel and access.Twenty-one hospitals have been forcibly evacuated by militants.And 17 hospitals have suffered aerial or land bombings, with nine ambulances attacked. Conclusion:The need for health services is still disproportionately greater, despite efforts to provide them to refugees and displaced people.Therefore, we call on the international community of experts and researchers to conduct researches in this important area and support the strengthening and re-construction of the failing health system in Sudan.
