Omdurman Maternity Hospital, known locally as Al-Dayat, has resumed operations in the Sudanese city of Omdurman following a closure caused by war. An official from the Khartoum State Ministry of Health confirmed that maternal and infant complications and mortality rates increased in the capital during the war because of hospital closures.

As services resume, complication rates are gradually decreasing, according to the official. Hospitals across the capital are currently recording approximately 7,000 new deliveries each month. The Khartoum health ministry has repaired and reopened 15 maternity wards in the capital.

Al-Toma Jabara gave birth to her daughter, Doaa, at the hospital two days before July 6, 2026. Jabara stated she was unable to conceive during the war years. Fighting between the Sudanese armed forces and the Rapid Support Forces separated her from her husband for two years, she said. She described her daughter's arrival as a "new beginning" for her family.

Emad Abdullah serves as the director of the hospital. Upon its reopening, the facility initially received one or two cases per day. It now records approximately 60 births per day. Amira Othman Abdel Majeed, an infection control officer, stated that the resumption of maternity services has changed the landscape of the health sector.

The Neonatal Department at the hospital is equipped with about 140 incubators and is the largest of its kind in Sudan. Hospitals in the area report a shortage of basic medicines. A natural birth at a government hospital in the area typically costs around 130,000 Sudanese pounds, equivalent to $216. A C-section at a government hospital in the area typically costs about 400,000 Sudanese pounds, or approximately $666. In private hospitals, a natural birth costs approximately 500,000 Sudanese pounds ($813), and a C-section costs between 600,000 and 800,000 Sudanese pounds ($999-$1,322).
