488 cases of dengue fever reported in North Darfur


The North Darfur State Health Ministry last week revealed that 488 cases of dengue fever were reported in the last two weeks amid scarcity and complete lack of some essential drugs.


A report by the State Health Emergency Committee seen by Radio Tamazuj indicated that the total number of suspected cases of dengue fever reached 7,075 out of which 488 were confirmed. […]


The renewed clashes between the Sudanese army and the RSF at the beginning of November forced some hospitals and health centers to close in addition to forcing others to work half a day. Only Al-Fasher South Hospital has been operating full-time since the outbreak of the war in mid-April.
