Staff comments
1. Some sources indicate that the 36th Chinese Medical Team to Sudan worked in the Damazin Friendship Hospital in addition to the Abu Ushar Friendship Hospital and the Omdurman Friendship Hospital (http://sd.china-embassy.gov.cn/chn/nwksd/202204/t20220406_10664850.htm). AidData has chosen to rely on the greater quantity of official sources supporting that the 36th Chinese Medical Team to Sudan worked in the latter two hospitals.
