Task-sharing anaesthesia in conflict zones: a cross-sectional study of safety gaps and systemic failures in Wad Medani, Sudan
NPAPs sustain surgery in Sudan's crisis but face lethal safety gaps. Urgent reforms require: (1) legislated scope-of-practice guidelines (e.g., Ethiopia's model), (2) mobile supervision platforms (e.g., WhatsApp consults), and (3) NPAP integration into national surgical plans. These findings inform WHO strategies for conflict-affected states.
