Executive Summary
Ongoing instability in the Darfur region of Sudan has put paid to any immediate prospect of resuming much-needed healthcare improvements. The situation has essentially obviated the calls made in July to meet shortfalls in medical supplies, diagnostic services and hospital infrastructures (see Clinica No 1117, p 13). International efforts were expected to resume last week, when the government signed a series of security and humanitarian access agreements, in response to widespread condemnation of the severe social instability in the region. The UN Security Council is due to meet on November 18, in Nairobi, Kenya, to discuss the situation and consider sanctions.
