Summary

Background: Needle-stick injuries (NSIs) expose healthcare providers to serious bloodborne infections such as HBV, HCV, and HIV. These injuries are prevalent in Africa and worsened by poor training, limited resources, and systemic issues. In Sudan, the ongoing war has intensified healthcare challenges, increasing NSI risks.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among doctors and nurses in Eastern Sudan using an interview-based questionnaire. Stratified random sampling ensured proportional representation. Data were analyzed using SPSS (p \< 0.05). Ethical approval and informed consent were obtained.
