Abstract
This proposal is the first to suggest the establishment of the new specialty of acute medicine in Sudan. Introducing this specialty will ensure that patients receive the best care in a timely fashion from a well-trained workforce and will aid in delivering optimum care to critically ill medical patients and securing faster, safer, and more effective services. It will provide a comprehensive training program for senior and junior doctors and attract employees by creating more jobs for different specialties (nurses, pharmacists, radiologists, etc.). Further, introducing acute care will help reduce the number of patients who require long-term admission, provide more accessible, holistic, emergency medical care for all socio-economic classes, and empower key stakeholders.
