What is SAMA's role?
SAMA is one of the leading U.S. organizations that actively provide high quality medical supplies to public hospitals and medical centers in Sudan. SAMA will administer the distribution of medical supplies supported by your gift to local hospitals in coordination with local physicians, volunteers, and its SAMA Sudan office staff.

How does SAMA identify need? 
-Local Sudanese physicians supply SAMA-USA  with a “wish list” of medical supplies
-SAMA fundraises and purchases medical supplies and equipments
-SAMA then supplies and ships a 40-foot freight container from USA (Virginia) to Sudan
