In Sudan, modern medical practice and medical research began soon after the creation of Anglo-Egyptian Sudan at the turn of the 20th century. The benevolent involvement of Sir Henry Solomon Wellcome, and the ingenious feat of his protégé Sir Andrew Balfour, was crucial to the strong foundation of that establishment. Sir Henry Wellcome provided the financial sponsorship plus influential, logistical and moral support. Dr Balfour put great energy into making the enterprise one of the most amazing medical achievements in colonial medicine. Improvement in the public health of the capital Khartoum was emulated by other doctors working in this vast country. Research was not restricted to tropical medicine; it also encompassed agricultural and chemical research. This helped with the establishment of the first modern medical school in the country in 1924 and resulted in the medical service in Sudan being described as one of the best in the world. Many British doctors flocked to Sudan to make a fortune and to set a path for their career back in Britain.
在苏丹，现代医学实践和医学研究在20世纪之交英埃苏丹创立后不久便开始了。亨利·所罗门·韦尔科姆爵士的慈善参与，以及他的门徒安德鲁·巴尔弗爵士的巧妙功绩，对该机构的坚实基础至关重要。亨利·韦尔科姆爵士提供了资金赞助以及有影响力的后勤和精神支持。巴尔弗博士投入了大量精力，使该事业成为殖民医学中最惊人的医学成就之一。在这个幅员辽阔的国家工作的其他医生效仿了首都喀土穆公共卫生的改善。研究并不局限于热带医学；它还包括农业和化学研究。这有助于在1924年建立该国第一所现代医学院，并使苏丹的医疗服务被描述为世界上最好的之一。许多英国医生涌入苏丹发财，并为他们回到英国的职业生涯铺平道路。
