:
القصة الصحيحة الكاملة لملابسات بناء مستشفى ابن سينا بالسودان، كما أوردها صاحب فكرتها الراحل بروفسر زاكي الدين.

In May 1975 I went to Japan on a scholarship...
offered by the Japan Internation Cooperation
Agency (JICA) for two months. It offered very
intensive training with lectures, endoscopy
sessions and pathological counseling in GI
problems. It was very stimulating to me and it
made me realize two important facts. The first
was that I need to establish a special centre
dedicated to the study and management of
Gastro-Intestinal disease. The second was that
I needed somehow to obtain the support of
Japan for this project.
When I was back in the Sudan I kept pondering
on how to establish the GI centre. The ministry
of health was receptive but had no significant
fund. However they made a very important
commitment, they agree to have this centre built
on the ground where Ibn Sina now stands.
It is remarkable that this area had been
designated for a hospital when Ammarat was
first planned in 1959. The Ministry of Health
held on to this piece of land for twenty years as
an open space in spite of several attempts from
other government agencies to acquire it for
other purposes.
Now armed with the promise of this prime piece
of real estate I felt I had a huge bargaining
chip. Soon I had the chance to play my strong
hand. I was visited in my now very active
endoscopy department by one of the directors
of Esai Pharmaceutical company. Esai was also
very influential in Japan. I knew this particular
director, Mr. Mucai from previous visits to
Sudan. He seemed impressed by the work we
were doing and this encouraged me to tell him
about my idea for the GI centre and my hope
that Japan would be interested to help. I was
happily surprised when he became really
excited about the project. He advised me that
the best was to enlist Japanese help was to
involve the University of Okayama in japan. He
went on to say that the way to involve Okayama
was to write to them inviting them for sisterly
cooperation with my department in KNTH.
Seeing my apparent surprise he asked me to
write a letter to the Dean of the medical school
of Okayama University inviting him to accept
this scientific union. He said he would take the
letter himself and deliver it to the dean. He went
on to explain that Okayama University was the
main advisor to the Japanese government in its
international medical aid. I was very excited
and duly wrote the letter and gave it to Mr.
Mucai.
To my great happiness two months later the
Dean of Okayama University came to Sudan. I
was contacted by the Japanese Embassy of his
visit. He came and visited us in Khartoum North
and made a programme for him to meet the
Dean of our Medical School and Vice Chancellor
of the University. I explained to him my
ambition of building a GI unit and showed him
the area in Ammarat where it will be built. A few
days later he went back apparently very
supportive of the idea.
I continued my contact with Mr. Mucai in his
visits to Khartoum which happened regularly
and he became very much dedicated to the
project. He arranged for the Sudanese
Ambassador in Japan to visit the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs in Tokyo to discuss the
proposed GI centre in Khartoum. On my advice
our Minister of Health also visited the Japanese
Ambassador in Khartoum and told him that the
project would be a great help to the Sudanese
people.
By 1981 I had the first feeling of a positive
response from Japan. A group of three
Japanese officials came to Khartoum. One from
JICA, one from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
and one form the Ministry of Health. I was
asked to come and meet them at the Japanese
Embassy in Khartoum. We had a cordial
meeting but it was difficult to tell what
conclusion they came to.
However a few months later yet another group
came and they looked more senior. We had a
meeting with them at the Japanese Embassy
and this was a lengthy meeting. They offered
they would be prepared to recommend a small
medical centre but not a hospital. I became
very angry and said that I wanted a hospital and
that I shall somehow with or without their help
build it. They were not prepared for my outburst
of temper and therefore after some silence they
said that would I be able to run the hospital
well if they should build it. In the same vein of
anger I told them I shall run it and run it well.
We adjourned the meeting and suggested that
we meet the following day.
The next day we had a short meeting and asked
us to take them to visit the various medical
facilities in Khartoum. So for the following four
days we toured all the main hospitals in the
three towns, Khartoum Hospital, Omdurman
Hospital, Khartoum North Hospital, Soba
Hospital and Ibrahim Malik Hospital. In each
hospital we spent hours visiting wards,
operating theatres, kitchens and bathrooms.
They were taking notes and photographs and at
the end of their visits I thought they had a bad
impression.
The night before they left I invited them to a big
dinner party at my house in their honour. To
impress them as much as possible I invited the
minister of finance, Sayed Ibrahim Moniem, the
Undersecretary of the Ministry of Health and the
managing director of Kenana Sugar Company
and several other dignitaries and doctors. I
thought they were very impressed. When we
said farewell I had a feeling that their body
language was very positive and encouraging.
Things then moved very fast and in a forward
direction. In December 1982 I was invited to go
to Tokyo and supervise the bidding for the
contract to build the hospital. I was supported
by a Japanese architectural firm appointed by
the Japanese government. Seven firms
produced bids and eventually Konike Company
won the contract to build and equip the
hospital. On Christmas day (December 25) 1982
at the offices of the Sudanese Embassy in
Tokyo I signed the contract with the company.
By mid march 1983 Konike started digging the
foundation. They promised that in two years
time they will finish. True to their word the
building was completed in May 1985 and all
furnishings and equipment were in place.
I was then faced with the fulfillment of the
Sudanese commitment, building the perimeter
wall the inside roads and the garden. This
turned out to be more hard work than we
bargained for. Step one was to write the
Ministry of Health and get their approval. Step
two was to get the approval of the Ministry of
Planning. Step three was to the approval of the
Ministry of Health specifying the money
necessary and step four you had to contact the
Ministry of Finance to obtain the necessary
funds. These steps were to be repeated for the
perimeter wall the roads and the garden. The
perimeter wall was the most demanding
because I had to spend hours touring the three
towns for a big building surrounded by such a
wall. One afternoon I passed the Parliament
building and was immediately impressed by it
perimeter wall. The next day we sat with the
architect and spent hours sketching and
drawing until we came up with the present wall
which I believe to be quite acceptable.
I was fortunate that in dealing with the
Ministries of Health, Planning and Finance I was
dealing with people of my generation, people I
met at Hantoub or the University and in various
aspects of public life. I don’t remember having
any difficulty in meeting any minister or senior
civil servant or difficulty in obtaining approval
for funds. However building by nature is a slow
process and it was not until the end of 1985
that Ibn Sina reached the shape it is now in.
While I was dealing with the physical
construction I was also developing my ideas
about the staffing and administrative sides. I
am pleased to say that I introduced for the first
time the following concepts:
i- Nursing to be limited to the graduates of the
Khartoum Nursing College
ii- Food catering was to be on the basis of
cooked individual meals designed and
supervised by hospital dieticians
iii- Cleaning the building should be by private
contractors
To achieve this and do it well I needed financial
and administrative independence. Luckily the
Minister of Health happened to be a surgeon,
Mr. Suleiman Abu Saleh. It was tough to
convince him but he agreed that Ibn Sina
