Lives of patients seeking specialized treatment are at risk as Babanusa Hospital in Sudan’s West Kordofan State is lacking the necessary equipments and medical specialists for assisting such cases.
A medical staff who preferred anonymity told Radio Tamazuj yesterday that the health facility lacks medical specialists to cater for the population, saying they have only two general practitioners.
He pointed out that the hospital needs specialists in obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatric, internal medicine and other departments. The source also complained about shortages of medicines especially at the Accident and Emergency Department.
“The citizens are immensely suffering because they are not getting health services and treatment, there are shortages of drugs, lack of medical cadres and medical equipment,” said the medical staff.
