To describe the intersectionality of healthcare and economy, and potential solutions to prevent the next peak of COVID-19 in Sudan.
Sudan has recently emerged from a 30-year dictatorship to face the COVID-19 pandemic in the midst of the worst economic crisis. Disease control measures that have been used in developed countries have been difficult to implement in Sudan due to economic, social, and structural challenges. There is a need for integration of data into the disease response plan and for community engagement to help with mitigation efforts. Youth-led community organizations were critical in the success of the Sudanese revolution. Their formal involvement in contact tracing and community awareness campaigns can be beneficial.
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought to the surface many of the challenges facing the healthcare system in Sudan. Culturally tailored interventions are needed to prevent the next peak of COVID-19 in the country.
描述医疗保健与经济的交叉性，以及预防苏丹下一波新冠疫情高峰的潜在解决方案。
苏丹最近摆脱了30年的独裁统治，却在最严重的经济危机中面临新冠疫情。由于经济、社会和结构方面的挑战，发达国家采用的疾病控制措施在苏丹难以实施。需要将数据整合到疾病应对计划中，并让社区参与以助力缓解疫情。青年主导的社区组织对苏丹革命的成功至关重要。他们正式参与接触者追踪和社区宣传活动可能会有所助益。
新冠疫情凸显了苏丹医疗保健系统面临的诸多挑战。需要采取符合文化特点的干预措施来预防该国下一波新冠疫情高峰。
