Country: Sudan Source: Qatar Charity Please refer to the attached file. Qatar Charity has launched a cochlear implant program for children at Doha Hospital in Khartoum, marking the resumption of this specialized service in Sudan for the first time since the outbreak of the war. The launch ceremony was attended by Sudan’s Federal Minister of Health, the Governor of Khartoum State, and the Ambassador of the State of Qatar to Sudan, alongside health and humanitarian officials. Restoring Specialized Care Sudan’s Federal Minister of Health, Dr. Haitham Mohamed Ibrahim, said the restoration of cochlear implant services represents an important milestone in rebuilding specialized healthcare in Khartoum. “Restoring cochlear implant services in Sudan is not an ordinary event, but a major achievement and a milestone in the return of specialized services in Khartoum,” he said. Dr. Ibrahim expressed appreciation to donors in Qatar for their continued support, noting that cochlear implant services in Sudan were first introduced with Qatari assistance. He said the resumption of the service reflects renewed support for Sudan’s health sector at a critical time. Khartoum Governor Ahmed Osman Hamza thanked the State of Qatar, its government and people, and supporting organizations for their assistance to Khartoum State and Sudan more broadly. He said the program will provide an important service for families in need of specialized hearing care. Qatar-Supported Medical Programs Qatar’s Ambassador to Sudan, H.E. Mohammed Ibrahim Al Sada, said the program reflects Qatar’s continued commitment to supporting the Sudanese people. He noted that Qatar-backed medical campaigns and camps have been launched in several Sudanese states, including initiatives in ophthalmology and urology, with further programs planned in coordination with the Federal Ministry of Health. Dr. Abdul Majeed Al Humaidi, Qatar Charity’s international programs and development expert, said the initiative aims to help children access sound, communication, education, and social integration. “We are certain that investing in children’s health is an investment in the future of an entire nation,”. Ten Surgeries Planned Amid High Demand Dr. Ibrahim Ali Omar, Acting Director of Doha Specialized Hospital, said 300 children had applied for electronic cochlear implant surgery, while 10 operations are planned under the program. He said the figures underscore the need for additional support to expand access for children for whom hearing aids are no longer sufficient, particularly as many families cannot afford the high cost of the procedure. The cochlear implant program builds on Qatar Charity’s recent specialized health initiatives in Sudan. These include four eye-care and surgery camps that examined 6,000 people with visual impairments and performed 600 operations in cooperation with Makkah Hospital in Port Sudan, Sennar, Wad Madani, and River Nile State. Qatar Charity also held a medical camp for children with congenital heart conditions at Madani Heart Center, where 60 procedures were performed through cardiac catheterization and open-heart surgery. In addition, it has supplied hospitals with medical equipment and materials, including kidney dialysis machines, laboratory equipment, intensive care devices, and neonatal incubators, with support from donors in Qatar. Through these interventions, Qatar Charity continues to support access to essential and specialized healthcare services for vulnerable communities in Sudan, in coordination with local authorities and health partners.
