Salamat Medical Charity is pleased to share an update on the “Doctors of Al-Rahman” International Medical Convoy, which was officially farewelled at the Sudanese Embassy in the United Kingdom and has now arrived safely in Merowe, Northern State, Sudan to deliver free medical services.
Farewell at the Sudanese Embassy in the UK
Earlier this month, Salamat Medical Charity attended a farewell gathering hosted by the Sudanese Embassy in the UK to mark the departure of the convoy. The event was attended by His Excellency the Ambassador, alongside the Military Attaché and the Consul, and brought together key partners supporting medical and relief efforts for Sudan.
Salamat Medical Charity was represented by its leadership, including the Chairman and the Trustees’ Secretary, in the presence of the General Secretary of Doctors of Al-Rahman and representatives of other charitable organisations, including HiHFAD, Help Yateem, and Global Relief Trust. Several participating organisations have extensive humanitarian experience in crisis-affected regions, including Gaza, Syria, and Pakistan.
The gathering reflected a shared commitment—across the Sudanese, Arab, and wider Muslim communities—to stand together in practical solidarity and to support healthcare services despite the difficult conditions facing Sudan.
Convoy Composition and Medical Supplies
The “Doctors of Al-Rahman” convoy consists of 12 doctors, including two orthopaedic surgeons, and is carrying approximately 500 kilograms of medical supplies. These include diagnostic kits for dengue fever, alongside other diagnostic and surgical equipment.
The medical team includes six doctors from the UK, with additional doctors travelling from Europe, the USA, and India.
Arrival in Merowe and Service Delivery
Salamat Medical Charity confirms that the convoy has reached Merowe locality and is delivering a free medical treatment camp in coordination with the Ministry of Health in Northern State and Nahdat Merowe Charitable Organisation (Namaa).
Local officials welcomed the mission and confirmed full coordination for the delivery of services. According to convoy representative Dr. Ahmed Habib, the team will provide medical support across several hospitals in the locality from 9 to 19 November.
Assessment Visit to Khartoum and Next Steps
During the Merowe visit, some convoy members will also visit Khartoum to assess needs in the capital. A second mission is planned for April 2026, with a sincere intention to strengthen collaboration and coordination, including with Salamat Medical Charity, to expand impact and continuity of support.
Appreciation
Salamat Medical Charity extends heartfelt thanks to His Excellency the Ambassador and the dedicated staff of the Sudanese Embassy in the United Kingdom for organising the farewell gathering and for their warm hospitality. We also express our deep gratitude to the doctors, volunteers, and partner organisations supporting this mission.
We pray for the team’s continued success and safety, and that this mission brings healing, hope, and meaningful relief to the people of Sudan.
