Damascus, SANA – Health Minister Dr. Nizar Yazigi stressed the necessity of finding a clear mechanism of the process of delivering medical supplies and vaccines to the difficult-to-reach areas to ensure that these materials are delivered to the people in need and that these materials are being used in the best way to avoid any mistakes that could adversely affect the health of the citizens.
Meeting Director of International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) operations Dominique Steinhardt accompanied by head of the ICRC commission in Syria Marianne Gasser on Thursday, Dr. Yazigi expressed his ministry’s readiness to facilitate all measures connected with delivering humanitarian aid to all areas based on a strategy which meets the necessary health requirements.
The Health Minister hailed the efforts exerted by the ICRC in enhancing health services, reiterating the Ministry’s keenness to cooperate with the international organizations working in the health sector in Syria for guaranteeing the delivery of health services to all citizens across the country.
The Ministry, neutrally and transparently, seeks to offer the necessary health services to treat the injured and the patients and ensure medicines, medical equipment and ambulatory services to all areas along with its work for enhancing partnership with different bodies working in the health issues on the national level, mainly the civil associations and non -governmental organizations, Dr. Yazigi elaborated.
Steinhardt, for his part, expressed the ICRC readiness for full coordination with the Ministry of Health on the delivering of any medical assistance to Syria, appreciating facilitation measures provided by the Syrian government to deliver humanitarian aid to various areas.
Last April, Gasser said, during a visit to Aleppo Province, that the work plan in Aleppo during the upcoming phase will concentrate on supporting the water and health services and environmental sanitation, equipping the make-shift centers and the alternative limb project, in support and coordination with the Syrian government.
