Abstract

Dear Editor- in-Chief: The conflict in North Darfur State, western Sudan, started in 2003. With the country’s limited re-sources, the conflict led to difficulties in the delivery of curative health services. This conflict affected 1.6 million people, 81% of the population of North Darfur State, with 37% classified as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) (1). Eighty per-cent of the people in rural areas and 47% in urban areas have to live on less than US$1 per day. The number of outbreaks of disease among the people is very high (2). Because the capacity of government in North Darfur State is limited, the NGOs provide 52.9% of the health budget and nearly 60% of health personnel. In this study, a total 60 interviewees participated; 15 of the participants were expatriates working for international NGOs and 45 were health professionals and administrations working in the health sector. The result shows that the government has become increasingly dependent on the services of NGOs, which provide 70% of curative health services, yet the government is suspicious of NGO’s motives (3). More recently, the independence of South Sudan in July 2011 has led to continuing border issues and disputes over oil revenue. This has resulted in the further weakening of the public health system; thus making the communities even more reliant on services provided by NGOs.
