SUDAN – Sudan’s grassroots “Emergency Rooms” have been honored with their second major international prize in just two weeks, underscoring global recognition of the volunteers who have kept communities alive amid the country’s devastating war. On Wednesday, October 1, 2025, Sweden’s Right Livelihood Foundation announced it had awarded its prestigious prize, often referred to as the “Alternative Nobel Prize”, to the Sudanese Emergency Rooms. The honor comes shortly after the network received Norway’s renowned Rafto Prize in mid-September for its extraordinary efforts to provide food, medicine, and education during Sudan’s civil war.
