The project was triggered as concerns grew that Sudanese healthcare workers might be more susceptible to COVID-19, especially because Sudanese doctors were amongst the first to die from COVID-19 in the UK.

Practical recommendations to support our members and other UK-Sudanese HCWs were also discussed.
