DIASPORA
Many Sudanese people have fled their homeland to join the
growing number of Sudanese people living in other countries.
Through the hard work of humanitarian organisations, such as
the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the
International Red Cross and the various host states of
Sudanese refugees including Australia, Canada and Germany,
the resettlement of Sudanese people in safe third countries
has been made possible. The needs of the Sudanese community
when they arrive and settle in these nations is the focus of
research presented on this page.

Study of Sudanese accessing medical facilities in the USA (website)
|
In 1998, 15 members of Minnesota's Nuer community were surveyed. The survey and research was concerned with their health on arrival into the USA and of their patterns in accessing health services. The research paper, published in 'Family Medicine', concluded that most arrivals came with pre-existing illnesses, especially intestinal parasites. It also found that the main barrier to accessing medical services was language difficulties. |
