Due to the lack of healthcare centers in #Aleppo in the #Sheikh_Maqsoud and #Ashrafiyah areas, along with the significant increase in drug prices, which affected the resident’s ability to obtain necessary medications, our medical teams witnessed the medical and emergency capabilitie’s weakness in the neighborhood during the #earthquake that hit Turkey and neighboring countries.
Therefore, we opened a medical center in Aleppo consisting of a pediatric clinic, a gynecology clinic, and a pharmacy that distributes medications to beneficiaries according to the doctor’s prescription. In addition, the emergency room is staffed around the clock to receive emergency cases. The center receives 25 beneficiaries per day for each clinic from the residents of the Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyah areas and the surrounding areas.
