This is the first time
we are confronting this virus.

It is new for us,

so we know nothing about it.

Healthcare providers
need to be confident

and need to know

what to do to be safe
and to keep their patients safe.

Sudan is one of the biggest
countries in Africa

It confirmed its first cases
of COVID-19 in mid-March

Since then, MSF has engaged
the Sudanese authorities
and WHO to provide support

subt
We are doing training for the frontline
health facilities in Sudan,

in Khartoum specifically,

to train them how to minimise
the risk of transmission, of infection,

and how to deal with every patient

and especially COVID-19 cases.

rótulos
MSF is helping to improve
patient and staff flow and
triage in priority health facilities

Our teams are setting up
isolation centres in some states
and doing health promotion

subt
COVID-19 is a pandemic,

so it is a global health threat
for everyone in the world.

It is new, so people
are not immune to it.

So you expect more people
to encounter the virus,

more people to become ill
with unpredicted mortality rates.

We are still learning

but we want to be ready
for it when it comes.

rótulos
MSF is concerned about
the impact of the disease
on vulnerable groups

This includes people with TB
and HIV or displaced people
living in precarious conditions

subt
People don’t know how

it will behave among those groups.

That’s why the infection preventive measures

have to be applied strictly.

subt
We hope that we can get rid
of this virus everywhere.
