Have a question about SALAMAT, volunteering, partnerships, or joining a future medical mission? We’d love to hear from you. Send us a message and our team will get back to you as soon as possible.

SALAMAT is built on sustainability. Alongside direct clinical care, our missions focus on training and knowledge transfer, strengthening specialised services (such as dialysis, oncology and children’s diabetes), and mobilising community support so that impact continues long after the convoy ends.

Founded in 2009, SALAMAT Medical Charity UK brings together volunteer health professionals and supporters to deliver medical convoys, training programmes and service development across Sudan. Our work is powered by membership subscriptions, volunteer commitment, and partnerships with institutions and communities on the ground.

You can support SALAMAT by becoming a member, volunteering your expertise, partnering with us, or donating to help fund training and essential services. Every contribution helps us reach more communities and strengthen healthcare capacity across Sudan.
