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.
