Sudan war disrupts insulin supplies, leading to increased smuggling

Murtada Mohieddin, a diabetic in Khartoum, struggles to find insulin amid Sudan’s ongoing civil war, which has devastated the healthcare system and pharmaceutical supply chains. With over 50,000 fatalities and 14 million displaced, the conflict has led to the proliferation of unregulated “Boko” medicines, compromising patient safety. Currently, 40% of health facilities are nonoperational, with even higher shutdown rates in conflict zones like Khartoum and North Kordofan, leaving millions without essential medical care.
