Abstract: During our privileged stay at the Red Sea State Unit, we observed a remarkable resilience of both nursing and medical staff to continue providing care to the patient population despite many adverse conditions and disadvantages. They are to be applauded for their professionalism and dynamic innovative practice that in many cases provides life-changing and saving care using less than a ‘bare minimum’ of equipment. It is this culture that will continue to drive forward the success, not only of the Red Sea Unit, but across the land.

Our observations and recommendations are made with somewhat ‘rose tinted’ vision, given the privilege of standards enjoyed by our native centers. We propose that taking the best learning opportunities and advice from multiple worldwide units and practitioners will offer developmental ‘fertility’ for further expansion of Sudanese endoscopic services. This single goal is perhaps the most pivotal of all as we look towards an exciting and opportunity filled future for the Red Sea state.
