Thousands of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and Suluk residents have benefitted from the quality health care services provided by Suluk Health Centre – run by Qatar Charity (QC) in co-operation with the Turkish health directorates.
Since its opening a few months ago, the health centre has been receiving 6,000 patients monthly and in June, more than 7,000 people, mostly children, women and the elderly, benefited from its services.
Last month, the referral system was initiated at the health centre and 25 cases were referred to the National Hospital.
The health centre forms part of the agreement signed by QC earlier this year with the Turkish health directorates that aims to establish and operate four primary health care centres in northern Syria. It also aims to facilitate access to medical services for the displaced and residents in the northern countryside of Aleppo.
The Suluk Health Centre – renovated, furnished, equipped, and opened by QC – provides healthcare services to the people in Suluk (a densely populated town in Syria close to the border with Turkey) and to residents in other areas suffering from a severe shortage of primary medical services as a result of the challenging humanitarian situation in the region.
Jamal Mustafa Hammoud, head of the health office in the local council, emphasised the strategic importance of this health centre for the region, citing its newly developed clinics and provides 24-hour ambulance and obstetrics services.
He added that the health centre provides various health services to a large number of people in Suluk and surrounding areas, which relieved the pressure on the National Hospital of Tal Abyad and Ras al-Ain.
The health centre offers in-patient, pediatric, dental, gynecological, and midwifery services, and medicines free of charge. It also provides ambulance and laboratory services for free.
