May 8 – World Thalassemia Day

/0 Comments/in , , , /by
Thalassemia, a genetic blood disorder, is not only a health challenge but also a story of daily struggle for people who need regular blood transfusions and continuous care. Through this day, the importance of early detection, premarital genetic testing, and the importance of integrating patients into society are highlighted.
Together, we can support those affected morally and financially through donation boxes distributed in NES and by donating blood by going to the Kurdish Red Crescent Hospital for Oncology, Burns, and Thalassemia in the city of Qamishlo.
Every word, every support, and every donation makes a difference.

The most prominent response efforts focused on by the WASH team in the Kurdish Red Crescent organization, through its partnership with medico international schweiz, were based on improving the quality of water monitoring services by providing the necessary support to the water laboratories of the General Directorate of Water in North and East Syria.

Recently, a four-day training course was conducted by the Medico team for the staff of the WASH department in the Kurdish Red Crescent and for the workers in the laboratories of the General Directorate of Water, in addition to conducting field visits to all the mentioned laboratories in preparation for supplying them with the necessary reagents and equipment in the near future.
