ABSTRACT
The aim of the article was to describe the impact of COVID 19 in Sudan;highlighting the response towards COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges towards possible control and prevention the outbreak. There is a worldwide uncertainty of how COVID 19 will play out tomorrow;we have no answer to what the best option for us in Sudan. However, while the world is waiting for the development of a vaccine and in the path to recovery, Sudan has many crucial tasks to do. The FMH should continue to share awareness programs through social networking and platforms and follow intense epidemiological surveillance so that any new case of COVID-19 can be noticed rapidly. This can be achieved by identifying the areas of the focus, and trace all the possible victims who may be exposed to the virus or have symptoms, test them and isolate them. This will break the chain of transmission and help to use the test kits to where they are most useful. FMH should continue providing all basic health services at different levels in the healthcare facilities, to prevent the collapse of health system and unwanted death from other diseases. The role of the media in the dissemination of correct information to the public is crucial such as reported cases and disease surveillance to control strategies and any others scenarios for further prevent the transmission of COVID-19 and better understanding the dynamics of disease outbreak in Sudan. The effect of lockdown might be more painful and traumatic to certain vulnerable groups, there should be a way out to help them, through national and international organisations engagement in the management policy. It is important for the authorities to adapt a response and plan policies that are flexible, which address the issues as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic.
