QRCS sponsors surgeries for Iraqi IDPs, Syrian refugees in Erbil

Doha: Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) representation office in Iraq is executing a general surgery and oncology project for the benefit of internally displaced people (IDPs) and Syrian refugees in the Erbil Governorate.

This is part of the programme of medical convoys executed by QRCS worldwide since 2000 to provide direct medical support to beneficiaries by performing significant surgeries, examinations, and delivering medications benefiting those suffering health issues but cannot afford the cost of treatment.

Hosted by the Rizgary Teaching Hospital in Erbil, the project aims to improve health conditions and strengthen the health system of Erbil by supporting the governorate’s health bureau and the hospital, to provide the Iraqi IDPs and Syrian refugees at camps who need specialised surgical interventions with access to adequate secondary health care.
