Abstract

Purpose of the review: To describe the intersectionality of healthcare and economy, and potential solutions to prevent the next peak of COVID-19 in Sudan.

Recent findings: 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.

Summary: 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.

重新开放苏丹:维持日常生活与避免下一个COVID-19高峰之间的平衡。

回顾的目的:描述医疗保健和经济的交叉性，以及在苏丹预防下一个COVID-19高峰的潜在解决方案。最近的调查结果:苏丹最近摆脱了30年的独裁统治，在最严重的经济危机中面对COVID-19大流行。由于经济、社会和结构方面的挑战，在发达国家使用的疾病控制措施在苏丹难以实施。需要将数据纳入疾病应对计划，并需要社区参与，以帮助开展缓解工作。青年领导的社区组织对苏丹革命的成功起了关键作用。他们正式参与接触者追踪和社区宣传运动可能是有益的。总结:2019冠状病毒病大流行使苏丹卫生保健系统面临的许多挑战浮出水面。需要针对不同文化的干预措施，以防止该国出现下一个COVID-19高峰。

This journal offers reviews by domestic and international contributors that highlight the most important, recent papers and findings related to this specific field. We accomplish this by appointing renowned leaders in major tropical medicine subject areas to select topics addressing virology, bacteriology, parasitology, entomology, immunology, cell and molecular biology, epidemiology, ecology, behavioral science and clinical medicine for review by experts who assess the latest developments and highlight significant papers published over the last few years on their topics. These review articles also stress recently published papers of importance in the references, which are accompanied by annotations explaining their importance. In addition to these Section Editors, our international Editorial Board ensures our journal upholds its standards.
