Effective Implementation of Public Health and Social Measures in Sudan: Situational Analysis

Public health and social measures (PHSMs) are an important strategy to slow transmission of COVID-19 and reduce the burden on health care systems. Effective implementation of PHSMs requires public support and adherence, but they can place a significant burden on people, especially when they restrict movement or entail the closure of services. This situational analysis, based on publicly available data and a recent phone survey, aims to inform efforts in Sudan to balance PHSMs to mitigate COVID-19 with other priorities, including public acceptance and social impacts.

This analysis was originally published by the Partnership for Evidence-Based Response to COVID-19.
