Jusoor Medical Campaign Launches in Deir ez-Zor for 800 Patients
The Deir ez-Zor governorate has officially launched the Jusoor medical campaign, marking the fifth initiative of its kind in the eastern region. This project is the result of a collaborative effort between the Deir ez-Zor Health Directorate and the American organization SAMS. The campaign aims to provide specialized medical care to approximately 800 patients, offering a wide range of precise medical services tailored to the health needs of the local population.
Dr. Nasr Alwan, the Director of Health in Deir ez-Zor, stated that the campaign is structured around two primary pillars to ensure maximum efficacy. The first pillar involves performing specialized and complex surgical procedures at several government hospitals across the governorate, including the National Hospital in Deir ez-Zor, as well as hospitals in Al-Hawaydi, Abu Kamal, Al-Mayadeen, and Hajin.
The second pillar focuses on medical training. The campaign includes advanced clinical workshops for resident physicians and participating medical staff from various Syrian governorates. This segment is designed to enhance clinical proficiency and strengthen the medical skills of local healthcare teams.
Dr. Mohammed Saleh, the coordinator of medical campaigns for SAMS, noted that the participating medical team includes 38 physicians across various specialties. He highlighted a significant international contribution, noting that 18 of these specialists have traveled from Australia to support the initiative. The medical services provided during the campaign cover several vital areas, including joint replacement surgeries, cardiac catheterization, and general surgery. Additionally, the campaign provides specialized care in internal medicine, pediatrics, neurology, and dental surgery.
This initiative is part of an ongoing effort to support the health sector in Deir ez-Zor and reduce the burden on patients. It follows previous similar initiatives, such as the ‘Shifa 4’ campaign held last July in collaboration with the American organization Global. That campaign also featured complex surgical procedures conducted at the National Hospital, underscoring a commitment to the continuous improvement of medical infrastructure and health services for residents in the most underserved areas.
