With an extensive geographical area and a population of over 42 million, ensuring universal access to health services across Sudan is a significant task, as is responding to the health and socioeconomic impact of COVID-19.

To help Sudan address the development challenges and emergencies it currently faces, UNDP works with the Government and in collaboration with WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA, other UN entities, and international partners – particularly The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund) – to support large-scale health enhancement, predominantly through civil works or the provision of essential supplies.
