History of Dermatology In the Sudan

Abstract

The history of medicine in the Sudan has yet to be recorded. Sources available for such a task are the records of the Ministry of Health and perhaps those of the medical school University of Khartoum. We only found a single book that utilized those sources to write on the medical services in the Sudan,. This was the book published by Dr Bayomi. However this book fails to mention anything tangible about the history of Dermatology in this country. We therefore venture to write this story about the history of dermatology in this country relying on the authors firsthand knowledge of the subject since he witnessed the development and was a part of it from the early seventies.
