Over the past year, Qatar Charity (QC) continued its vital humanitarian and developmental role in supporting the most vulnerable populations in Turkiye and northwest Syria, a statement said.
Through its field office, QC implemented projects across key sectors, including health, education, food security, and social care, reaching over 1mn beneficiaries.
QC allocated more than $7mn to healthcare initiatives in Turkiye and Syria, benefiting over 569,000 people. The initiative supported 12 health centers in Idlib, rural Aleppo, and the Peace Spring area, offering emergency services, paediatric care, and health education to over 524,000 individuals at a cost exceeding $5mn.
In addition to operating 18 ambulances across several provinces, QC supplied essential pharmaceuticals to health centres, strengthening the continuity and accessibility of both primary and specialised medical services.
In northern Aleppo, paediatric health services were significantly bolstered with support for the children’s department at Al-Ra’i Hospital. QC also facilitated brain tumour removal surgery, distributed 43 hearing aids, and provided six wheelchairs, assisting 50 individuals in total.
