The Amdjarass-based field hospital, established by the UAE to support Sudanese refugees in Chad, has successfully treated 2,408 cases since its inauguration on 9th July 2023, with a focus on women, children, the elderly and those with chronic diseases in addition to cases from the local community.
The hospital revealed that, since it opened, it has received hundreds of orthopaedic, surgical, and internal cases, in addition to performing tens of operations.
The hospital is part of the UAE’s humanitarian, relief and medical aid to support Sudanese people affected by the conflict in Sudan, which has been ongoing since last April. It is also in line with the UAE’s efforts to support the Republic of Chad in its response to alleviate pressures entailed by the humanitarian situation resulting from the influx of Sudanese refugees to Chad.
Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, had directed the establishment of a field hospital in Chad on July 9 in support of the Sudanese refugees, with joint cooperation between three humanitarian institutions in the UAE, namely the Emirates Red Crescent, the Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan Charitable and Humanitarian Foundation, and the Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation for Humanitarian Works.
Since the conflict started on April 15, the UAE has operated an air and sea bridge to the region, transporting nearly 2,000 tonnes of medical, food and relief materials to Port Sudan and Chad.
