Hence, such medical teams play pivotal role that is tangibly felt by the needy categories". Another employee, Anina Laku, said the medical team provides us free diagnosis and treatment that we cannot dream to afford.
The medical teams lauded the efforts of ministry of Health and Sudanese doctors for providing the logistical support and solving all difficulties, which could have hindered the efforts of mobile hospital.
