In an exemplary demonstration of professional responsibility and humanitarian commitment, alumni from the National University – Sudan have played a pivotal role in a crucial medical intervention at the Al-Affad Camp.

The intervention focused heavily on maternal healthcare and neglected orthopaedic conditions, providing immediate medical care that successfully saved lives and improved long-term quality of life.
Key achievements of the medical mission included:
- Maternal and Neonatal Care: Monitoring high-risk pregnancies and ensuring safe deliveries for mothers in critical conditions.
