Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) has launched a new project to provide medical care for cancer patients in Iraq. As part of the initiative, QRCS is supplying cancer drugs and consumables to the Nanakali Hospital for Blood Diseases and Cancer in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan.
Implemented in co-operation with the Iraqi Red Crescent Society (IRCS) and the Erbil Health Directorate, the project addresses the shortage in medications and medical consumables to treat 7,500 displaced and local cancer patients.
QRCS office in Iraq has already delivered a large quantity of essential medications to the Nanakali Hospital. This effort aims to support cancer patients among Syrian refugees, displaced Iraqis, and the host community.
The Nanakali Hospital is a central medical facility that receives patients of different age and social groups from across the country. It serves about 2,110 patients per month, through its chemotherapy, laboratory, radiology, clinical consultation, and pharmacy departments.
