This document provides an overview of health statistics, demographics, geography, and priority health problems in Sudan. It notes that Sudan has a population of over 35 million with high population growth, and over half of infants die before age 5. Major communicable diseases that pose very high risks include malaria, meningitis, hepatitis, and waterborne illnesses. The country has also experienced outbreaks of measles, yellow fever, and other diseases due to protracted conflict, a collapsed health system, and limited access to healthcare. Key priority health problems identified are child health, maternal health, control of communicable diseases, and establishing surveillance systems for non-communicable diseases.
