We don't have a listing for Sudan, or most of Africa in general. I would suggest contacting the local hospitals and see if any are experienced in treating blood disorders. If any hospitals are associated with local universities, that would be a good place to inquire. I would also inquire about the safety of the local blood supply before making any decision to bring the family.
