[00:00:05] The government of Gedaref headed by Brother Al-Wali
[00:00:08] and the entire government, and we especially thank the Ministry of
[00:00:12] Finance and the Development Department in the Ministry of Finance
[00:00:15] for not skimping on this center in providing
[00:00:19] services and completing the deficiencies,
[00:00:22] which
[00:00:25] the war, the localization program in we consider complications. So this still
[00:00:29] connected.

[00:01:37] from the west, after their suffering
[00:01:40] was great due to traveling
[00:01:43] the fact that it was one of to, to, to Madani and to
[00:01:45] Khartoum and to Merowe. But praise be to God,
[00:01:49] treatment is now available here in the state
[00:01:52] of Gedaref and in
[00:01:55] brand, machines known to us in Abayou, and this center also provides
[00:01:57] services to all the surrounding areas, God willing, from the neighboring state
[00:02:01] to us, meaning from Sennar or Al-Jazira, if there are
[00:02:04] things that are not available there, we, God willing, will have integrated roles
[00:02:09] The center will ease the pressure on between Kassala and Gedaref and Al-Jazira. God willing,
[00:02:12] we will serve our patients, and I ask God that this center
[00:02:16] be a qiblah even for neighboring countries, providing treatment, God
[00:02:36] lacks open-heart surgery.
[00:02:39] We will put our hands together, God willing,
[00:02:42] and complete the construction
[00:02:46] What then for this of the open-heart surgery building.
[00:02:50] provided this And our brothers, the Federal Minister of Health, God willing, will provide the medical equipment
[00:02:57] took place to localize from and supplies, and I hope that we will combine our efforts to attract doctors and all medical staff. So that we can provide
[00:03:01] them with what attracts them to work in this
[00:03:17] deficiencies,
[00:03:18] Come to prayer. but as I told you, we, the state
[00:03:22] government, God willing, will complete
[00:03:25] The operation of this everything you mentioned as a need, God willing, with the help of our brother, Dr.
[00:03:28] Haitham, the Federal Minister of Health. And as
[00:03:32] our brother Salah
[00:03:37] is considered the largest in So, God Almighty willing, this Al-Basha Come to salvation. mentioned a little while ago, Dr. Haitham was truthful in his saying that
[00:03:41] its kind. The second in were it not for the witness, it would have been a blessing for us. We did not ask
[00:03:44] him for anything,
[00:03:46] by God, I am at and he responded
[00:03:47] Come to salvation. to us. All the equipment
[00:03:49] and supplies that come to us from the Federal
[00:03:52] Ministry of Health, he was
[00:03:55] began with the behind it and responding
[00:03:57] UNDP in to us. And now, he has been following up on this cardiac catheterization. Perhaps for a year
[00:04:00] and a half. And thank God it has arrived, and today it was
[00:04:04] inaugurated. I hope that this will be good news
[00:04:08] and a relief, God willing, for all patients, God willing, so that
[00:04:11] they can receive treatment and comfort and medical care, God willing.
[00:04:19] All the crises in it was burned here in this
[00:04:27] Almighty, hand in hand with Good. We congratulate you on this achievement.
[00:04:31] which was achieved after a long
[00:04:33] journey. We congratulate you, and you are the people
[00:04:36] of achievements.
[00:04:40] We first congratulate the people of this
[00:04:43] region,
[00:04:46] who presented Saturday, as the
[00:05:09] us that challenges create
[00:05:12] men. And the first of those
[00:05:16] men were the forces of our armed people, and
[00:05:19] those who supported them, who protected
[00:05:22] the country and its people.
[00:05:25] So our prayers are with them as they
[00:05:27] steadfastly advance towards the west of the country
[00:05:44] Dignity taught us that there are men of another kind.
[00:05:47] Gedaref had men
[00:05:51] who supported everyone who the arrivals
[00:05:57] Al-Jazira, from
[00:05:59] Khartoum with food,
[00:06:02] clothing, drink, and shelter.
[00:06:06] Therefore, it is not strange
[00:06:10] that it is the fate of the people of Sudan
[00:06:14] edifice to all of Sudan, and not just to Gedaref alone,
[00:06:17] and not to the people of Abayou
[00:06:20] alone, but this is part of the kindness they offer
[00:06:23] to all Sudan.
[00:06:27] The Battle of Dignity also taught
[00:06:28] us
[00:06:31] that despite what happened, we must continue.
[00:06:36] center becoming a heart center
[00:06:40] began before the war.
[00:06:44] headquarters and this facility before
[00:06:48] the war at night. And when we saw the enthusiasm of the people of this
[00:06:51] town and region, they visited the
[00:06:54] center with us. We went up and down, and it was not yet completed.
[00:06:57] It was just until the doors and windows were not
[00:07:01] installed. We said, "What should we do?" We said,
[00:07:04] "Let's think." So, the owner of the center or
[00:07:08] the owner of the building that Faisal and his family built
[00:07:10] was a small expansion of the small center,
[00:07:14] but after the center became this size,
[00:07:17] they thought that this should be a service for here and for all of Sudan.
[00:07:21] And when Salah Al-Basha came and told him, "We want
[00:07:25] it to be a heart center," and called him on the phone, I told
[00:07:28] him, "This is not easy, it's difficult, but
[00:07:31] we will start, and God will make it easy." And thank God
[00:07:34] Almighty, he started and went step
[00:07:37] by step, and it was done during the war, despite all these difficulties,
[00:07:40] we reached this stage that we saw a little while ago
[00:07:44] of an advanced, developed center, ready
[00:07:47] to provide service to Sudan
[00:07:49] and its people.
[00:07:52] The challenge is not over. It is true that we have reached here, but
[00:07:56] what then?
[00:07:59] center, and what then for the people of Abayou who
[00:08:03] center? This center, God Almighty willing,
[00:08:08] the beginning, Ahmed Al-Amin and the others set us a challenge that they did not
[00:08:11] call. The Gedaref Center for Cardiac Catheterization,
[00:08:15] they called it that. If we had kept silent, Al-Saeed also added a name,
[00:08:20] the beginning, they called it a surgery one. So there is no way, as they say here,
[00:08:24] "stick to it." Mr. Governor, we and you will complete the surgery section, God
[00:08:28] willing, just as we started, we will continue.
[00:08:31] God is great, and what is started is always completed. We will move at the same
[00:08:35] pace and at the same speed. We support, and you
[00:08:39] support. And the dignitaries of Gedaref are known
[00:08:43] for their multiple initiatives. edifice
[00:08:47] will be completed,
[00:08:49] and Al-Basha will take care of it afterwards,
[00:08:53] and the doctors and staff,
[00:08:55] and the management, and the federal
[00:08:57] support. Likewise, the people of Abayou
[00:09:01] have contributed,
[00:09:05] and Brother Engineer Al-Sharif said that they want
[00:09:08] things, they have contributed, which means that people must
[00:09:11] provide them with the center. It will treat them, yes, but it will treat
[00:09:14] with them all the people of Sudan and the people of Gedaref. So the first
[00:09:18] thing I see is Brother Ahmed Al-Amin, that their health center,
[00:09:21] which has been transformed into this, is that we both work together to
[00:09:25] qualify and develop and upgrade it so that it can provide the full
[00:09:29] service, the full basic health care service,
[00:09:32] the service of clinics transferred to specialists. We
[00:09:35] will see the vision and the map, and we, God
[00:09:39] Brother Ahmed Al-Amin, will develop the center for you. The second is
[00:09:43] the maternity hospital that was mentioned
[00:09:46] in this neighborhood. It is large, its population
[00:09:49] density is large, its people are old. Therefore, we
[00:09:53] ourselves will go with them step by step. You establish, and all
[00:09:56] the equipment and supplies for the women's and maternity hospital, consider them approved
[00:10:00] and accredited by the Federal Ministry of Health.
[00:10:03] Also, the center for intellectual disability,
[00:10:06] same story. This is a project that people have been thinking about
[00:10:10] since before the war, and it is moving forward.
[00:10:21] And Ahmed Al-Amin is ready for this
[00:10:24] project. Encourage it, and you will find us with you side
[00:10:27] by side. We will also look at the project and work with you
[00:10:30] equally, God Almighty willing, and everything it needs, God willing,
[00:10:34] Almighty. God is great. Likewise, the Battle of
[00:10:37] Dignity taught us that health
[00:10:41] is a right for Sudanese people, with justice and distribution
[00:10:45] in all states of Sudan. It is due. Before
[00:10:50] the states, we hardly worked on it.
[00:10:54] The numbers that were mentioned, 90% or
[00:10:56] 80% in Khartoum state, and little in Al-Jazira state.
[00:11:03] the South, all head to Khartoum state.
[00:11:07] Centralization has harmed health greatly. This does not mean that
[00:11:10] we will neglect the center at all, but
[00:11:14] we need to develop the states. We need to develop
[00:11:18] health services in the states. And this has been achieved, after God's grace,
[00:11:21] to a great extent in the states of Sudan.
[00:11:26] Not only at the level of basic care services. Praise
[00:11:29] be to God, basic services have spread.
[00:11:32] Maternal and child health services have spread, and hospital services.
[00:15:30] Rural areas, specialized services have spread. Yesterday,
[00:15:34] we opened a dialysis center.
[00:15:37] This was even before the war. There were many difficulties facing
[00:15:41] people. In this context, and with this clear
[00:15:45] vision that Salah Al-Basha also mentioned, heart
[00:15:48] services were one of the
[00:15:51] very annoying and worrying services, where a person could not
[00:15:55] be caught by ambulance because if you don't move him within an hour or two by ambulance,
[00:15:59] he might enter
[00:16:02] program and the challenge that Salah Al-Basha took on
[00:16:06] with our own determination. We always tell him, "Center,
[00:16:09] let's finish." He raises his head and tells us, "The second
[00:16:12] center after that." He went to Merowe, and we are working with him with the same
[00:16:16] determination, and the war is ongoing. He went and established one in Dongola with the same
[00:16:20] determination. He left us a little while later and said, "Let's go forward." He built one in Port Sudan. We went
[00:16:23] forward, and now he has come to Gedaref, and our determination is high. We went to Kassala,
[00:16:27] and we are still determined. And now we have come to Gedaref, the Gedaref
[00:16:31] of goodness and blessing, and I am sure that it will raise our determination even more in
[00:16:34] the rest of the states of Sudan that we expect, God Almighty,
[00:16:38] soon, soon,
[00:17:25] The kidney dialysis center, which is a center with
[00:17:28] 10 machines of the B. Braun
[00:17:32] Sudan, and
[00:17:35] a treatment unit
[00:17:39] of the Fresenius brand, German, represented here by Benoudi
[00:17:42] Company.
[00:17:46] Gedaref. First, and the second thing
[00:17:50] is that, under the slogan of the state government, "transferring services to the localities
[00:17:53] for citizens in their locations,"
[00:17:57] and the next center, God willing, is the Doka
[00:18:01] center, to provide
[00:18:03] kidney dialysis services in the Doka area for its sector plans.
[00:18:19] Dr. Duha Idris, Medical Director of Al-Shawk Kidney
[00:18:23] Center. Today, thank God, the inauguration
[00:18:26] of the Kidney Center in the capital
[00:18:30] of Al-Fashqa locality, Al-Shawk city,
[00:18:35] treatment domestically, due to the suffering
[00:18:38] of the patient, who has been suffering from two bitter things:
[00:18:42] travel and illness. This was
[00:18:45] due to great efforts from the state
[00:18:48] government and the Minister
[00:18:51] of Health of Gedaref State, Dr. Ahmed Al-Amin Adam,
[00:18:55] and the Board
[00:18:57] of Trustees
[00:19:01] of the hospital.
[00:19:13] Thank God, and travel
[00:19:17] and lose money.
[00:19:20] Thank God, today,
[00:19:23] home, thank God, in Al-Shawk city. By God,
[00:19:27] thank God, may God reward them, and may God
[00:19:30] increase it.
[00:19:41] By God, we found all the staff, mashallah, standing ready.
[00:19:44] The arrangements and the situation are all perfect.
[00:19:47] The hospital itself represents something big for us
[00:19:51] as citizens and as patients. We also have many
[00:19:55] patients who suffer from kidney failure who migrate and struggle a lot to be able to
[00:19:58] reach there. Transportation costs,
[00:20:02] living costs, all these costs we consider
[00:20:05] a great relief for them, and for them to be socially
[00:20:09] secure and among their families is really
[00:20:51] The activity is the distribution of a number of aids provided by
[00:20:54] the Federal Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Finance
[00:20:58] and a number of participating
[00:21:01] organizations, and it is provided to the localities.
[00:21:04] These aids are provided to hospitals and to
[00:21:08] localities. So I am very grateful and appreciative to all
[00:21:11] the organizations that contribute with us
[00:21:14] in providing aids to health
[00:21:18] centers and hospitals. So we thank them very much.
[00:21:32] One of the main points in this gathering
[00:21:36] is the first, the great collective movement for health
[00:21:39] through multiple partnerships.
[00:21:42] And this is one of the things that Gedaref state has distinguished itself with to a very
[00:21:46] great extent. The fact that we see a number of
[00:21:50] United Nations
[00:21:53] organizations present today
[00:21:56] launching their projects, as well as
[00:22:00] international organizations and national organizations. And the main
[00:22:04] axis, this is a second advantage, is the axis of basic health care.
[00:22:07] Because the foundation of health
[00:22:10] is basic health care and a comprehensive
[00:22:14] package. That is, through this simple tour, the thing
[00:22:16] we saw,
[00:22:19] a package in maternal health, in
[00:22:22] child health, in combating disease vectors,
[00:22:26] in environmental health. Gedaref state, mashallah, has excelled
[00:22:29] in environmental health, despite
[00:22:33] the worst states and the worst cities.
[00:22:36] Plastic bags and dirt, etc., it has become
[00:22:39] one of the cleanest cities
[00:22:42] and the cities that have paid attention
[00:22:44] to cleanliness
[00:22:46] and environmental health. And we, in a previous visit, had
[00:22:50] launched the health tuk-tuk,
[00:22:53] the tuk-tuk, the generous initiative
[00:22:56] of the state, which started to
[00:22:59] innovate such
[00:23:01] innovations.
[00:23:52] Gedaref is the first in
[00:23:56] medical waste, event
[00:23:59] is completed with the opening of this modern incinerator,
[00:24:02] and we thank the Federal Ministry of Health
[00:24:05] and the state and the government of
[00:24:08] Gedaref state for these great
[00:24:12] efforts.
[00:24:15] qualitative project, the medical incinerator
[00:24:19] in Gedaref state, implemented
[00:24:22] by the UNDP and funded by the Global Fund. This incinerator
[00:24:27] Sudan and the first of
[00:24:31] the Northern State. The operational
[00:24:33] capacity of this incinerator is almost sufficient not
[00:24:36] only for health facilities and hospitals
[00:24:39] in Gedaref state, but also for neighboring states.
[00:24:42] Therefore, thinking and arrangements
[00:24:47] the next phase on how we
[00:24:50] can ensure excellent and good operation that covers various
[00:24:53] health facilities. In fact,
[00:24:57] from the United Nations program for water,
[00:25:00] and this incinerator has provided a vehicle for transporting
[00:25:03] medical waste, and
[00:25:06] then
[00:25:08] landfill. And this incinerator will
[00:25:12] greatly relieve us of the effects of medical waste, and it is considered
[00:25:16] the first incinerator to be here in Gedaref
[00:25:19] state. And we are very happy with this great achievement.
[00:25:35] The opening of Abbouda Center for Heart Diseases and Surgery
[00:25:39] in Abayou neighborhood crowns Gedaref state's policy
[00:25:42] of localizing treatment within the state, which included all medical
[00:25:46] specialties, especially chronic diseases. The opening of the kidney
[00:25:50] dialysis center in Al-Shawk city
[00:25:53] was witnessed, and also modern medical equipment
[00:25:56] and supplies were provided to every project in Gedaref state. Thus,
[00:26:00] Gedaref state has made significant progress. It has reached more
[00:26:03] than 70% in the framework of the policy
[00:26:06] of localizing treatment domestically. And this medical fortress, which
[00:26:10] I stand before, represents
[00:26:12] a model of cooperation between government authorities
[00:26:15] and the citizens of the state, or rather, the citizens of
[00:26:19] the Abayou neighborhoods, who contributed through this edifice to
[00:26:23] supporting and alleviating the suffering of citizens, especially heart
[00:26:26] patients, through the modern medical equipment and supplies
[00:26:30] available at this center. Greetings from me, Yasser
[00:26:33] Al-Musaid, and greetings to my colleague Omar Arki in filming and technical
[00:26:37] operations from here in Abayou
