Sudanese refugee influx overwhelms Birao hospital

First aired Latest aired

DevelopingNext check : Whether the refugee influx or the hospital’s resulting capacity crisis ends, leaving the hospital no longer overwhelmed by patients from the influx.

Where it stands

Birao District Hospital has 60 beds for a local and refugee population of nearly 40,000, and its chief says it can barely cope with the Sudanese refugee influx. The report also describes aid cuts; it does not say whether the influx or the hospital’s capacity crisis has eased.
