Doha, 05 Jan.(SANA) The Qatar Red Crescent has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Syria’s healthcare sector by implementing a series of humanitarian interventions aimed at assisting amputees and providing cancer treatment, with the goal of easing patient suffering and improving services for the country’s most vulnerable populations.
In a statement carried by the Qatari news agency QNA, the organization said it is providing chemotherapy and immunotherapy medications for displaced and needy Syrian cancer patients at the country’s main oncology center. Hundreds of prosthetic limbs are also being installed, alongside physical rehabilitation services, assistive devices for people with disabilities, and treatment for amputees.
The Qatar Red Crescent also delivered a 3D printer to Syria’s prosthetics center and an immunohistochemistry (IHC) device to a pathology laboratory in Idleb province. These initiatives are part of a project to improve medical access for displaced persons in northern Syria, implemented in coordination with the Syrian Arab Red Crescent and the Ministry of Health.
The 3D printer will produce advanced prosthetic limbs using modern techniques that are rarely available in Syria, while the IHC device will allow specialized medical teams to more accurately detect tumors and diagnose cancer, benefiting tens of thousands of patients.
Last September, Syria’s Ministry of Health received medical aid shipments from the Qatar Red Crescent as part of ongoing efforts to meet medical needs and strengthen the country’s healthcare capabilities.
