The Syrian Ministry of Health signed a donation agreement with Atlantic Humanitarian Relief (AHR) to provide advanced Siemens CT scanners to Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Damascus and Aisha Hospital in Al-Bukamal, Deir Ezzor.
Health Minister Musab al-Ali stated that the donation is a part of the “Restoring Hope” campaign aimed at improving healthcare services and quality, in partnership with local and international organizations.
AHR founder Humam Aqbeq noted that the equipment will benefit both the public health and medical education sectors. Installation is expected within five months, including construction of dedicated rooms.
Al-Mouwasat was selected for its role as a major trauma center requiring 24/7 imaging, while the device in Al-Bukamal will spare patients from traveling 132 km to Deir ez-Zor, serving a population of around 300,000.
