With the support of Medico International Switzerland, the Kurdish Red Crescent continues to provide its medical services to the residents in remote villages in the outskirts of Tabqa through mobile clinics.

The services of the KRC continue in remote areas of Tabqa.
Access to remote and rural areas, especially those that have faced many crises, including a lack of medical services due to their distance from city centers, is one of the biggest challenges in providing healthcare.
Since 2016, the Kurdish Red Crescent has been providing services to these areas as part of its priorities and goals. Hundreds of remote villages have been targeted and provided with primary healthcare services, as well as services for women and children, through mobile clinics equipped with ambulances and medical teams. This is done through ongoing programs, and one of the targeted areas is the rural area of Tabqa. The mobile clinic team, currently supported by Medicos International Switzerland, visits several villages that are approximately 65 km away from the city center, continuing to provide the care that the residents in these areas have been lacking.

Together for well health and clean environment

We, in the Kurdish Red Crescent Organization in northeastern Syria, have been working for several years to develop our projects aimed at the safe disposal of medical waste and expired medicines. Last week, we met with UPP, the Health Authority, the Medical Services Centre and the Municipalities Authority’s Health Committee to develop new plans to improve activities and implement them systematically in the region.
This project aims to preserve public health and the environment in our region, and reduce environmental pollution and the risks facing us. We are proud of our work and hope that this project will lead to our shared goals of improving health and the environment.
We invite you to join us on this important project and spread awareness about the importance of the safe disposal of medical waste and expired medicines. Thank you for your support and cooperation with us

Raising awareness about antibiotic resistance and measles continues in all camps

Our health education team aims to raise awareness of antibiotic resistance In all camps, including Washokani camp, west of the city of Hasakah. According to our team, antibiotic resistance is the ability of bacteria to develop mechanisms that enable them to resist the effects of antibiotics. Therefore, it educates and guides the residents of the camp through continuous visits.
In addition to antibiotic resistance education, our health education team continues to provide advice and education about measles, which is a highly contagious disease, which means that it can be transmitted very easily to others. Measles is caused by a virus in the nose and throat of an infected child or adult.
And about the two diseases, our team provides awareness leaflets after completing its field tour.
