Pound Collapse Disrupts Sudan Pharma

The medication crisis in Sudan has shifted from merely rising prices to a severe shortage of available drugs, caused by the depreciation of the Sudanese pound against foreign currencies, especially the US dollar. This has directly impacted the import of raw materials and local pharmaceutical production. In July, there were significant price increases in important medicines, ranging between 30% and 35%, amidst ongoing economic hardships and deteriorating security conditions due to the ongoing war between the army and Rapid Support Forces. This conflict has led to the shutdown of many modern factories and increased reliance on imports in the market. Pharmacies are facing challenges in keeping up with exchange rate fluctuations, and the risks of shortages of chronic medications are mounting—particularly for patients dependent on continuous treatment. The crisis is expected to worsen as import costs continue to rise and local production declines.
