In Sudan, the ongoing armed conflict since April 2023 has critically impacted healthcare delivery, yet its effects on stroke care remain underexplored.  \nMethods A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted among 431 physicians managing stroke cases during the 2024 Sudan conflict. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire distributed via medical networks. Descriptive statistics summarized the findings, and Kruskal-Wallis tests assessed associations.  \nResults Most respondents were general practitioners (49 . 2%), with over 80% having ≤ 5 years’ experience and working in public hospitals. Nearly 49% reported significantly worsened stroke outcomes since the war, and  \n58% noted increases in both incidence and severity. Key barriers included delayed hospital arrival (38 . 5%), lack of neuroimaging (28 . 8%), and financial constraints. Over 70% cited shortages in supplies; rehabilitation was disrupted by facility loss, displacement, and inadequate follow-up. Complications such as recurrent strokes (57 . 5%) and infections (53 .4%) were common. No significant associations were found between demographic factors and responses patterns to stroke management services.  \nConclusion The war has led to a systemic collapse in stroke management in Sudan. A coordinated response is urgently needed to address diagnostic limitations, security risks, and rehabilitation gaps. Strengthening training, infrastructure, and resource delivery must be prioritized in future recovery strategies.  \nKeywords Stroke, Sudan conflict, Health systems, Rehabilitation, War medicine, Stroke management, Neuroimaging, Thrombolysis  \n*Correspondence:  \nKhabab Abbasher Hussien Mohammed Ahmed [khabab9722@gmail.com](khabab9722@gmail.com)  \nFull list of author information is available at the end of the article  \n© The Author(s) 2025.
