In a step that reflects the determination of Sudanese medical staff to provide healthcare despite all challenges, the Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) workshop held at Port Sudan Central Police Hospital from February 18 to 20, 2025, successfully achieved its objectives. The workshop was supported by the National Center for Gastroenterology and Liver Diseases, in collaboration with the Khartoum Training Center of the World Gastroenterology Organization (WGO) and the Sudanese American Physicians Association (SAPA), laying the groundwork for localizing this vital service in the city.
This achievement was documented in the WGO Training Centers’ monthly newsletter for March 2025:
