The mental health care system ("Country Report - October 2003") [#17341],  [ID 13057]

"5.45 The Mental Health Care System in Sudan is still relatively young with major initiatives implemented in the mid- to late-1990s. Consequently, access to mental health care in the primary health care system is not available and very few therapeutic drugs are obtainable at this level. There are few psychiatric beds or professionals in relation to the population, 0.2 per 10,000 population according to the WHO Mental Health Project Atlas Country Profile 2002. However, Sudan does have special programmes designed to address the mental needs of refugees and children, both of which are supported by NGOs and UNICEF. Migrants, the elderly and displaced or homeless children have also been given special attention"
