TECHNICAL AND FINANCIAL PROPOSAL
Project: Construction of a Small Malaria Treatment Hospital in Sudan
Submitted by: Humanity Organization
Location: [Target State – e.g., White Nile, Gedaref, Kassala, or Darfur], Sudan
SECTION A: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Project Title: Emergency Malaria Treatment Hospital Construction Project
Location: [Specify State/Locality], Sudan
Duration: [12-18 Months]
Total Budget: [To be calculated based on unit costs below]
Humanity Organization proposes to construct a fully equipped small hospital dedicated to malaria diagnosis, treatment, and prevention in one of Sudan's most malaria-affected regions. The facility will serve approximately 50,000 - 75,000 people annually, including displaced populations, host communities, and vulnerable groups such as pregnant women and children under five.
Malaria remains one of the deadliest diseases in Sudan. As of February 2026, Sudan is facing a major malaria outbreak alongside ongoing conflict, displacement, and health system collapse . This hospital will provide life-saving care to communities currently cut off from health services.
SECTION B: BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
B.1 The Malaria Crisis in Sudan
Sudan is facing a catastrophic malaria outbreak. The World Health Organization (WHO) has documented alarming numbers:
Thousands of suspected malaria cases in recent outbreaks across multiple states
Over 70% of health facilities are non-functional in conflict-affected areas, leaving patients without care
Pregnant women and children under five are most vulnerable, with malaria being a leading cause of maternal and child mortality
Displacement has scattered millions into camps with no access to health services, where malaria spreads rapidly
Disease outbreaks overlap – malaria, cholera, measles, and dengue fever are occurring simultaneously, overwhelming what little health infrastructure remains
The Ministry of Health has reported malaria outbreaks in:
White Nile State
Gedaref State
Kassala State
Darfur States (North, South, Central, West)
Kordofan States (North and South)
Al Jazirah State
River Nile State
Northern State
In White Nile State, the outbreak began in October 2025 and was still ongoing as of February 2026 . Overcrowded transit centers and reception areas for newly displaced people are particularly affected, with limited access to healthcare .
B.2 Why a Small Hospital?
While primary health centers and mobile clinics provide essential services, severe malaria cases require:
Inpatient care for complicated cases (cerebral malaria, severe anemia, respiratory distress)
Intravenous (IV) artesunate administration and monitoring
Blood transfusion services for severe anemia
24-hour observation for patients at risk of deterioration
Maternity services for pregnant women with malaria
Isolation capacity for patients with overlapping infections
A small, strategically located hospital fills the critical gap between basic health posts and overwhelmed regional hospitals that are hours or days away.
B.3 Target Beneficiaries
Direct: 50,000 - 75,000 patients annually seeking malaria diagnosis and treatment
Priority Groups:
Children under five with severe malaria
Pregnant women requiring specialized care
Displaced populations in nearby camps and settlements
Host communities with no access to secondary care
Patients with complicated or recurrent malaria
Cases requiring blood transfusion or intensive monitoring
B.4 Geographic Targeting
The hospital will be located in a high-burden area based on:
Ministry of Health malaria surveillance data
Presence of displaced populations and overcrowded camps
Distance to nearest functional health facility
Accessibility for surrounding communities
Security and stability for ongoing operations
Priority states: White Nile, Gedaref, Kassala, South Darfur, or South Kordofan
SECTION C: PROJECT OBJECTIVES
C.1 Overall Objective
To reduce morbidity and mortality from malaria in targeted communities of Sudan through the construction and operation of a dedicated, fully equipped malaria treatment hospital.
C.2 Specific Objectives
To construct a small, fully equipped hospital with capacity for 30-50 inpatient beds and dedicated malaria treatment services.
To provide 24/7 access to quality malaria diagnosis and treatment, including for severe and complicated cases.
To establish maternity services with capacity to manage malaria in pregnancy.
To create a referral hub for peripheral health facilities and mobile clinics.
To build local health worker capacity through training and mentorship.
To integrate malaria prevention services including insecticide-treated net distribution and health education.
To contribute to disease surveillance and outbreak detection.

End of Proposal
Additional Notes for Your Tender Submission:
Ministry of Health Coordination: Ensure you have preliminary discussions with the State Ministry of Health in your target location before submission. Their support will be critical for approval and sustainability.
Site Selection: If you haven't selected a specific site, propose a needs-based selection process with clear criteria and indicate that final site will be determined in consultation with health authorities.
Malaria Data: Reference the most recent Ministry of Health malaria data for your target state to justify the intervention. The search results confirm ongoing outbreaks in White Nile, Gedaref, Kassala, and other states as of February 2026 .
Integration: Emphasize how the hospital will integrate with existing health services (referrals from PHCCs, mobile clinics, community health workers) rather than duplicating or competing.
Sustainability: Donors are increasingly concerned about sustainability. Your plan for Ministry of Health integration, community committees, and cost recovery demonstrates long-term thinking.
