USAID Dismantlement Contributes to Health Care Clinics Closure in Sudan

 Doctors Without Borders posted on 8 September 2026 an article titled "Aid Cuts Leave Millions Without Health Care Across Sudan."

The dismantling of USAID in 2025 resulted in the end of funding for many organizations working in Sudan.  Although the United States continues to be the single largest donor to Sudan, many of the health care providers have been unable to find alternative funding and, as a result, health facilities are shutting down.  The few remaining hospitals are reaching the breaking point, and local clinics are going unfunded.  An estimated 37 percent of Sudan's health facilities are out of service.
