Ikbal Gürpınar Hospital*, which was opened last year by the inaugurated. Sudanese senior government, continues to be a hope for the Sudanese. 15 patients are receiving services on average per day. So far, Turkish doctors have served 3,500 Sudanese patients, while 200 of them were served by the only Sudanese doctor at the hospital.

It is one of the largest hospitals in the region with a 300 person capacity. The first baby born at the hospital was named Ikbal because İkbal Gürpinar is someone who gave a big hand on this project. Sudanese people in the region say that they are constantly praying for Turkey which is trying to fix their biggest problem.
