Sudan's history goes back to the pharaonic period. It was the largest and one of the most geographically diverse states in Africa, until its split into two countries in 2011 after southern Sudan voted for independence.

This followed decades of struggle by the mainly Christian and Animist south against rule by the Arab Muslim north.

Modern Sudan has long been beset by conflict and instability since independence, with two lengthy north-south civil wars and a protracted war in the western region of Darfur.

2023 saw fighting break out in the capital, Khartoum, as a result of a vicious power struggle within the country's military leadership.

Sudanese cuisine is greatly affected by the historical cross-cultural influences of Arab, Nubian, Egyptian, Turkish, and Levantine cuisine in Sudan. Many Sudanese foods have been around for thousands of years. The most common meats eaten are lamb and chicken, in accordance with the Muslim halal laws. Most meals are communal and often shared with family, neighbors, and guests, as part of Sudanese hospitality.

Although the traditional medicine is accepted in Sudan, to date there is no updated review available, which focuses on most effective and frequently used Sudanese medicinal plants.

For me, the most important aspect was changing the perspective of treating patients who is from diverse backgrounds, I have developed my knowledge refugees are hard to ask for support. Having read theClinical Practice I now think differently when people ask for help but find it hard to express themselves. This skill will be important to me in the workplace to build confidence. Because I am not yet confident with asking about their feeling without offending them, I will now need to build my knowledge. Later, I realised provided them with more information with my knowledge. Equally, this could increase my work satisfaction because I can help more people in my own way.

The social determinants of health (SDH) are the non-medical factors that influence health outcomes. They are the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, and the wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life. These forces and systems include economic policies and systems, development agendas, social norms, social policies and political systems.
