Residents have reported a surge in fever cases across neighborhoods of Khartoum, the capital, amid growing difficulties in finding hospitals to admit patients.
Medical sources attributed the outbreak of fevers to the widespread mosquito infestation, driven by severe environmental health deterioration in most areas of Khartoum.
The Sudan Doctors Network announced the detection of 461 cases of dengue fever in Khartoum State as of mid-August, including four deaths.
Meanwhile, the Federal Emergency Center of the Ministry of Health reported more than 5,000 cumulative cases of dengue fever nationwide, including 325 cases in Khartoum State.
In mid-August, the Federal Ministry of Health, in cooperation with the Khartoum State government, launched a three-month campaign targeting neighborhoods and markets to eradicate disease-carrying vectors.
