About the Cover, Volume 15, Issue 2

Picture
The Meroitic script in the background represents the indigenous Sudan alphabet which consisted of 23 letters and was developed at about 700 - 300 BC [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mero%C3%AB​]. Meroe was the southern Capital of the Napta / Meroitic Kingdom (800BC-350AD) which flourished due to a strong iron industry and international trade involving China and India. The Arabic script of the “Sudanese Journal of Paediatrics” was designed in 1984 by Taha El Atta, PhD at the Sudan University, College of Fine Arts.
Sudanese Youth Initiative celebrated in May 2015 the opening of the new Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at a children’s hospital in Omdurman City, Sudan. Um Gisma, a tea seller working near Gaafar Ibnauf Children’s Hospital in Khartoum, cut the ribbon giving a start of the ICU. Becoming an inspiring icon, the Initiative decided to award Um Gisma the honor of opening the new ICU which cost over 435,000 US dollars collected from Sudanese donors. She stood in the front with a child recovering from cancer beside her, both of them, displaying a remarkable example of delivering great services with minimum resources. To learn more see Editorial.
