CARING - INNOVATING - TOGETHER:
Since its inception in 2009, ALIMA has treated more than 10 million patients and is now operating in 13 countries in Africa.

We work in partnership, particularly with local NGOs, whenever possible to ensure that our patients benefit from expertise wherever it is available, whether in their country or in the rest of the world. In addition, to improve the humanitarian response, we conduct operational and clinical research projects, particularly in the areas of malnutrition and viral hemorrhagic fevers.

ALIMA IN SUDAN
ALIMA has been present in Sudan since 2021 with projects in South Kordofan and Khartoum states responding to urgent health and nutrition needs of populations affected by conflict and the COVID-19 pandemic.
ALIMA is currently operating in North and West Darfur. Its intervention aims to reduce mortality and morbidity among internally displaced persons (IDPs) and host communities affected by conflict through integrated health, nutrition and emergency response activities across North and West Darfur. In North Darfur, following the closure of El Fasher operations in July 2025 due to heightened insecurity, activities were concentrated in Tawila, where ALIMA supports six outpatient facilities and one inpatient facility, manages two cholera treatment facilities (CTU and CTC), supports state-level cholera preparedness, implements Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention (SMC), and provides medical services to humanitarian staff. Since August 2026, activities have expanded to Marta, Kergnoi, Katur and Gerni El Fasher, with plans to deploy two mobile clinics in IDP camps. In West Darfur, ALIMA supports five PHCCs in Kulbus, six PHCs in Jebel Moon and one hospital, providing health and nutrition services in collaboration with health authorities and partners including UNICEF, ECHO and EDESIA. Additional activities include a SMART nutrition survey and planned SQLNS distributions.
