(AP Photo\/Sam Mednick)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The W.H.O. did not disclose if Sudan government officials had identified suspects or motives in either the confirmed or alleged attacks on health-related institutions over the past two months. The organization said it began using a \u201csurveillance and reporting system for attacks on health facilities and personnel in Sudan\u201d in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The latest spate of harassment represents the highest rate of attacks on health buildings, vehicles, and personnel recorded in Sudan through the U.N. reporting system since its 2019 launch. Sudan is currently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/africa\/2021\/11\/22\/sudan-military-reinstates-prime-minister-after-killing-dozens-in-coup-to-remove-him\/\">undergoing<\/a> intense political turmoil that has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2022\/1\/13\/sudan-security-forces-fire-tear-gas-at-anti-coup-protesters\">sparked<\/a> civil unrest. The conditions may have contributed to the recent spike in healthcare-related violence, some of which has been documented in Khartoum, the Sudanese national capital and seat of government.<\/p>\n<p>Sudan is an official member state of the&nbsp;W.H.O.\u2019s Eastern Mediterranean Region. The country shares its northern border with the Mediterranean nation of Egypt and its eastern border with the Red Sea, which is connected to the Mediterranean Sea via Egypt\u2019s Suez Canal.<\/p>\n<p>The W.H.O. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emro.who.int\/countries.html#S\">funds<\/a> a large proportion of Sudan\u2019s public healthcare system, including its facilities and workers, through its position as the U.N.\u2019s international public health body. The organization <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.who.int\/iris\/handle\/10665\/136885\">published<\/a> a report in May 2017 detailing the extent of its healthcare presence in Sudan, which included \u201cthe construction and equipment of 92 new family health care centres and 176 family health units.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The global public health agency oversaw \u201cthe training of over 800 community health workers\u201d in Sudan at the time \u201cwith an additional 1000 people undergoing basic community health training \u2026 across the [nation\u2019s] 18 states.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The W.H.O. said it was training roughly \u201c6000 community midwives\u201d to assist with childbirths along with \u201c215 assistant health visitors.\u201d The agency presumably trained the midwives and \u201chealth visitors\u201d to pay home visits to people in rural or low-income settings with limited or no means of traveling to traditional health clinics for medical care.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition, an estimated 1400 medical assistants are now enrolled in basic training,\u201d the W.H.O. reported at the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unidentified persons have allegedly perpetrated 15 attacks on Sudanese healthcare facilities and workers since November 2021, U.N.
